In syntactic analysis, as in linguistics generally, the skills
required to first identify, and then make sense of, complex
patterns in linguistic data involve a certain specific kind of
reasoning, where various alternatives are entertained and modified
in light of progressively broader empirical coverage. Rather than
focus on transmitting the details of complex theoretical
superstructures, this textbook takes a practical, analytical
approach, starting from a small set of powerful analytic tools,
applied first to simple phenomena and then to the passive,
complement and raising/control constructions. The analytic tools
are then applied to unbounded dependencies, via detailed
argumentation. What emerges is that syntactic structure, and
intricate networks of dependencies linking different parts of those
structures, are straightforward projections of lexical valence, in
tandem with very general rules regulating the sharing of feature
values. Featuring integrated exercises and problems throughout each
chapter, this book equips students with the analytical tools for
recognizing and assessing linguistic patterns.
