Beskrivning
A thorough introduction to formal syntactic typology by a leader in the field, Comparing Syntax systematically covers syntactic variation across languages. The textbook covers word-order parameters, null subjects, polysynthesis, verb-movement, ergativity, interrogatives and negation within a comparative framework, ensuring that readers are able to engage with the key topics in the most up-to-date primary research literature. The comprehensive glossary, end-of-chapter exercises and annotated further reading lists allow readers to consolidate and extend their knowledge as they progress through the book. A self-contained work ideal for intermediate and advanced-level students, Comparing Syntax also builds on the author's Beginning Syntax and Continuing Syntax.

Recensioner i media

'This excellent third volume of Roberts' syntax trilogy introduces students to generative theories of linguistic typology: why does the grammar of languages vary in just the way it does? The book expertly explains fundamental concepts, generalisations, and phenomena. Novel problem sets, end-of-chapter reading lists, and a glossary make it uniquely helpful to intermediate and advanced syntax students.' David Adger, Queen Mary University London
