Book description
The Syntax Workbook was written as a response to the students
and instructors who, over the years, have requested more problem sets
that give greater experience in analyzing syntactic structure. Aligned
chapter-by-chapter with Carnie's bestselling textbook, this workbook
provides over 120 new exercises on all of the major topics in
generative syntax.
- An all-new workbook to accompany the bestselling syntax
textbook, Syntax: A Generative Introduction, which answers
the need for a practical text in this field
- Features over 120 problem sets with answers, designed to give
students greater experience of analyzing syntactic structure
- Exercises and topics covered includes phrase structure, the
lexicon, Case theory, ellipsis, auxiliaries, movement, covert
movement, locality conditions, VP shells, and control
- Supported by expanded online student
and instructor
resources, including extra chapters on HPSG, LFG and
time-saving materials for lecturers, including problem sets,
PowerPoint slides, and an instructors' manual
- Structured to reflect the style and chapter-by-chapter coverage of
the textbook, but its practical, reader-friendly layout also makes
it suitable for use as a stand-alone Workbook
