The study of Russian is of great importance to syntactic theory,
due in particular to its unusual case system and its complex word
order patterns. This book provides an essential guide to Russian
syntax and examines the major syntactic structures of the language.
It begins with an overview of verbal and nominal constituents,
followed by major clause types, including null-copular and
impersonal sentences, WH-questions and their distribution, and
relative and subordinate clauses. The syntax behind the rich
Russian morphological case system is then described in detail, with
focus on both the fairly standard instances of Nominative,
Accusative and Dative case as well as the important
language-specific uses of the Genitive and Instrumental cases. The
book goes on to analyze the syntax of 'free' word order for which
Russian is famous. It will be of interest to researchers and
students of syntactic theory, of Slavic linguistics and of language
typology.
