Lectures on Contemporary Syntactic Theories
Author: Peter Sells
language: en
Publisher: Center for the Study of Language and Information Publications
Release Date: 1985
The material presented is based on the notes from a series of lectures given at the University of California, Santa Cruz in 1985. The three theories discussed here are the ones about which the author has enough knowledge to discuss seriously. Along with describing each theory's most important aspects, these discussions are limited to the purely syntactic aspects of the theories. Ross presents each theory in the formulation that is internally consistent, while explaining the concepts and motivations of the theory, but remaining accessible to the non-specialist. Syntactic theories change rapidly, so this series of lectures does not encompass all the recent developments in the field.

An Introduction to Syntactic Theory

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
Release Date: 2006-06-07
This textbook provides a comprehensive, balanced introduction to syntactic theory. The author shows how the diversity of syntactic theories, which at first seems confusing, can be approached by examining how each deals with conflicting data. This approach helps the student to understand how syntactic theories are related to each other, what they necessarily have in common, and in what ways they actually differ. Theories introduced here include Transformational Generative Grammar, Relational Grammar, Word Grammar, Functional Grammar, and Optimality Theory, amongst others. An Introduction to Syntactic Theory will be essential reading for undergraduate students of linguistics, whether they are new to the subject or studying it at a more advanced level.
