This authoritative introduction explores the four mainnon-transformational syntactic frameworks: Head-driven PhraseStructure Grammar, Lexical-Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar,and Simpler Syntax. It also considers a range of issues that arisein connection with these approaches, including questions aboutprocessing and acquisition.
* An authoritative introduction to the main alternatives totransformational grammar
* Includes introductions to three long-establishednon-transformational syntactic frameworks: Head-driven PhraseStructure Grammar, Lexical-Functional Grammar, and CategorialGrammar, along with the recently developed Simpler Syntax
* Brings together linguists who have developed and shaped thesetheories to illustrate the central properties of these frameworksand how they handle some of the main phenomena of syntax
* Discusses a range of issues that arise in connection withnon-transformational approaches, including processing andacquisition
