Van Valin Language: en Publisher by: Cambridge University Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 25 Total Download: 199 File Size: 55,5 Mb Description: Clearly organized and accessible, this comprehensive new textbook provides students with a thorough grounding in the analysis of syntactic structure using data from a typologically wide variety of languages. The book guides students through the basic concepts involved in syntactic analysis and goes on to prepare them for further work in any syntactic theory, using examples from a range of phenomena in human languages. It also includes a chapter on theories of syntax.
Each chapter includes generous exercises and recommendations for further study. Author by: Edith A. Moravcsik Language: en Publisher by: A&C Black Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 21 Total Download: 262 File Size: 51,5 Mb Description: Presents the basic goals and tools of syntactic analysis. This book's framework is theory-neutral, presenting a scientific introduction to the field and to synchronic description. It examines variation and change, syntactic typology, language acquisition, and possible explanations from structural, evolutionary and functional perspectives. Author by: Andrew Radford Language: en Publisher by: Cambridge University Press Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 14 Total Download: 129 File Size: 48,8 Mb Description: This textbook-an abridged version of Radford's Minimalist Syntax and the Syntax of English-provides a concise and accessible introduction to current syntactic theory, drawing on the key concepts of Chomsky's Minimalist Programme. Assuming little or no prior grammatical knowledge, it takes students through a range of topics in English syntax, beginning at an elementary level and progressing in stages towards more advanced material.
There is an extensive glossary, and each chapter contains a workbook section with 'helpful hints', exercises and model answers, suitable for both class discussion and self-study.

Although most of the examples are from English, the book introduces general concepts which provide the necessary tools for a basic syntactic analysis of any language. The book concentrates on topics that will remain useful to the student who does not go on to study linguistics but, say, literature or EFL teaching.' - The Year's Work in English StudiesIn this revised and fully updated new edition of his popular textbook, Jim Miller discusses the central concepts of syntax which are applied in a wide range of university courses, in business communication, in teaching and in speech therapy. The book deals with concepts which are central to traditional grammar but have been greatly refined over the past forty years: parts of speech and how to recognise them, constructions and their interrelationships, subordinate clauses and how to recognise the different types, subjects and objects, Agents and Patients and other roles. The book draws out the connections between syntax and meaning and between syntax and discourse; in particular, a new chapter focuses on the analysis of discourse and the final chapter deals with tense, aspect and voice, topics which are central to the construction of texts and are of major importance in second language learning.
They are also areas where meaning and grammar interconnect very closely.Key features:.Coverage of central themes with a wide application outside the study of syntax.Explains basic concepts, supported by a glossary of technical terms.Exercises and sources for further reading provided. Author by: Roger Fowler Language: en Publisher by: Routledge Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 93 Total Download: 362 File Size: 49,9 Mb Description: Transformational syntax is an analytic technique of grammatical description which has exciting psychological and philosophical ramifications inspiring creative research into the conceptual powers and behaviour of man.
In this book, first published in 1971, the author suggests that the techniques of the classical period (1964-66) of transformational syntax provide the securest foundation for syntactic analysis, and are indispensable if students are to understand recent changes to the analytical technique. This title will be of interest to students of language and linguistics.

The syntactic background offered is generative, the major semantic tool used is set theory. These tools are applied step-by-step to develop essential interface topics and a selection of prominent contrastive topics with material from English and German. Author by: G.

David Morley Language: en Publisher by: A&C Black Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 93 Total Download: 314 File Size: 51,9 Mb Description: This well-illustrated book outlines a framework for the analysis of syntactic structure from a perspective of a systematic functional grammar. In oart, the book goes back to the grammar's 'scale and category' roots, but now with the aim of presenting how a descriptive framework illustrating how the analysis of the syntactic structure can reflect the meaning structure.The contents are divided into four sections. Section one gives a brief overview of systematic grammar, including the linguistic system, context of situation, and language fractions. Developing the lexicogrammar, section two considers formal units and their classes, but the principal focus is on section three, which covers the role of units as elements of structure.
Section four discusses areas of structural complexity and concludes with several refinements to the analysis format. Author by: Noel Burton-Roberts Language: en Publisher by: Routledge Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 66 Total Download: 955 File Size: 49,7 Mb Description: This highly successful text has long been considered the standard introduction to the practical analysis of English sentence structure.
It covers key concepts such as constituency, category and functions, and also utilises tree diagrams throughout to help the reader visualise the structure of sentences. In this fourth edition, Analysing Sentences has been thoroughly revised and now features a brand new companion website with additional activities and exercises for students and an answer book for the in-text exercises for professors. The extra activities on the website give students practice in identifying syntactic phenomena in running text and will help to deepen understanding of this topic. Accessible and clear, this book is the perfect textbook for readers coming to this topic for the first time.
Featuring many in-text, end-of-chapter and Further Exercises, it is suitable for self-directed study as well as for use as core reading on courses.
