Assuming no prior grammatical knowledge, Understanding Syntax
explains and illustrates the major concepts, categories and
terminology involved in the study of cross-linguistic syntax.
Taking a theory-neutral and descriptive viewpoint throughout, this
book: introduces syntactic typology, syntactic description and the
major typological categories found in the languages of the world;
clarifies with examples grammatical constructions and relationships
between words in a clause, including word classes and their
syntactic properties; grammatical relations such as subject and
object; case and agreement processes; passives; questions and
relative clauses; features in-text and chapter-end exercises to
extend the reader's knowledge of syntactic concepts and
argumentation, drawing on data from over 100 languages; highlights
the principles involved in writing a brief syntactic sketch of
language. This fifth edition has been revised and updated to
include extended exercises in all chapters, updated further
readings, and more extensive checklists for students. Accompanying
e-resources have also been updated to include hints for instructors
and additional links to further reading. Understanding Syntax is an
essential textbook for students studying the description of
language, cross-linguistic syntax, language typology and linguistic
fieldwork.
