内容説明
This general introduction outlines various components of the grammar, and the way in which they interact, treats movement rules in detail, and describes approaches to deletion. Also dealt with are major constraints, the theta-criterion (and related issues), semantics in the framework of generative grammar, and speech acts. No previous specialized knowledge is presupposed, the level of complexity increasing gradually throughout the book. A comprehensive index facilitates cross-referencing, and a set of exercises coded on to each chapter makes it possible for the reader to apply the system of rules and principles described in the text.
