Andrew Radford's latest textbook, Minimalist Syntax, provides a
concise, clear, and accessible introduction to current work in
syntactic theory, drawing on the key concepts of Chomsky's
Minimalist Program. Assuming little or no prior knowledge of
syntactic theory, Radford takes students through a diverse range of
topics in English syntax - such as categories and features, merger,
null constituents, movement, case, and split projections - and
shows how the 'computational component' works within the minimalist
framework. Beginning at an elementary level, the book introduces
grammatical concepts and sets out the theoretical foundations of
Principles and Parameters and Universal Grammar, before progressing
in stages towards more complex phenomena. Each chapter contains a
workbook section, in which students are encouraged to make their
own analyses of English phrases and sentences through exercises,
model answers, and 'helpful hints'. There is also an extensive
glossary of terms.
