This book introduces, analyzes and critiques the main areas of
debate within the field of syntax. This book introduces the main
areas of debate within the field of syntax. Jim Miller analyzes the
major themes in syntactic research, paying attention to overlooked
non-generative theories and the adoption of the same concepts
across different models of grammar. The book analyzes the
difference between spoken and written syntax, standard and
non-standard syntax, grammar and usage, and addresses concerns such
as grammatical prescription. Examples are drawn from a range of
everyday examples extracted from corpus data, to present an
analysis of how syntax is used in the real world. Comprehensive,
accessible and challenging, this book is essential reading for
students taking introductory courses in syntax and syntactic
theory, both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. "Continuum
Critical Introductions to Linguistics" are comprehensive
introductions to core areas in linguistics. The introductions are
original and approach the subject from unique and different
perspectives. Using contemporary examples and analogies, these
books seek to explain complicated issues in an accessible way. The
books prompt critical thinking about each core area, and are a
radical departure from traditional, staid introductions to the
subject. Written by key academics in each field who are not afraid
to be controversial, each book will be essential reading for
undergraduate students.
