English Syntax is an authoritative, self-contained introduction
to the subject for students who have had no prior coursework in
syntactic theory. The detailed revisions throughout this new
edition are aimed at increasing its clarity and usefulness. There
are changes in almost every chapter, including a large number of
new exercises and several new subsections. In addition there are
two new appendixes, the first sketching the relation of English
syntax to the wider field of generative syntactic theory, the
second summarizing the basic syntactic structures discussed in the
body of the text.Specific changes include a fuller discussion, at
the beginning of chapter 3, of the difference between complements
and modifiers; a more systematic introduction to tree diagrams and
what they express, at the end of chapter 3; a new subsection in
chapter 4 on how to analyze complex structures; a new discussion of
the general nature of missing-phrase constructions in chapter 9; a
significant revision of the discussion of comparative clauses in
chapter 12; a new discussion of the scope of negation in chapter
15; and, in chapter 16, a new discussion of practical strategies
for analyzing conjoined structures.
