This book is designed to teach undergraduate and beginning graduate
students how to understand, analyse and describe syntactic
phenomena in different languages. The book covers every aspect of
syntax from the basics to more specialised topics, such as clitics
which have grammatical importance but cannot be used in isolation,
and negation, in which a construction contradicts the meaning of a
sentence. The approach taken combines concepts from different
theoretical schools, which view syntax differently. These include
M. A. K. Halliday's systemic functional linguistics, the
stratificational school advocated by Sydney Lamb, and Kenneth L.
Pike's tagmemic model. The emphasis of the book is on syntactic
structures rather than linguistic meaning, and the book stresses
the difference between a well-formed sentence and a meaningful one.
The final chapter brings these two aspects together, to show the
connections between syntax and semology. Each chapter concludes
with exercises from a diverse range of languages and a list of
major technical terms. The book also includes a glossary as an
essential resource for students approaching this difficult subject
for the first time.
