Minimalist syntax : exploring the structure of English = 最简句法入门 : 探究英语的结构 /

作者：  Andrew Radford.

出版社：

简介：《最简句法入门:探究英语的结构》共分10章，其中第1-5章及第8章的标题两书基本一致。在《句法：最简方案介绍》一书中，“主语”为一个单独的章节，而《最简句法入门:探究英语的结构》则将其糅进第7章“A移位”及第8章“呼应，格位与移位”。《句法：最简方案介绍》的第9章“VP嵌套”在《最简句法入门:探究英语的结构》第9章“分裂投射”中作为一则实例来讨论。而《最简句法入门:探究英语的结构》第10章“语段”则是全新的内容。因为《最简句法入门:探究英语的结构》语言通俗易懂、书中例证浅显贴切、叙述节奏较缓，因此《最简句法入门:探究英语的结构》篇幅较长。而且为帮助读者自学，每章后面都配两套有针对性的练习题。每套练习题均提供了相关暗示，以引导读者解题。作者为每套题的第一题作了示范解答，供读者答其他题目时参照。

出版社：外语教学与研究出版社,2000

简介：　　This book is a self-contained introduction to language and linguistics. suitable for use as a textbook and for self-study.

A language is a complex structure represented in the minds of its speakers, and this book provides the tools necessary for understanding this structure, It explains basic concepts and recent theoretical ideas in the major aresa of linguistics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics), as well as the applications of these to the study of child laguage acquisition, psycholinguistics, language disorders and sociolinguistics. The book is divided into three parts: sounds, words and sentences. In each of these parts, the foundational concepts are introduced along with their applications in the above fields. giving this book a clear and unique structure. Each section is accompanied by extensive exercises and guidance on further reading. The authors all teach at the department of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex, Andrew Radford is the author of four best-selling textbooks: Transformational Syntax(1981),Transformational Grammar(1988),Syntax(1997)and Syntactic Theory and the Structure of English (1997), all published by Cambridge Uniersity Press. Martin Atkinson is the author of Explanations in Child Language Acquisition(1982), Children's Syntax(1992)and Foundations of General Linguistics(With D.Kilby and 1. Roca, 1988).David Britain has published articles in Language in Society and Language Variation and Change. Harald Clahsen has written a number of books and articles on child language acquisition, developmental language disorders and the acquisition of German as a second language. Andrew Spencer is the author of Morphological Theory(1991)and Phonology (4996)and has contributed to the Handbook of Morphology and the Handbook of Linguistics. This intoduction, by some of today's most distinguished linguists, should rapidly become the market leader. lnstead of offering the usual catalogue of unconnected topics, the authors of this intoduction cover each of the major areas of language-sounds, words and sentences-from several viewpoints at once, giving a unified account of the field with unparalleled clarity and elegance. Each section is complemented by exercises which are at once challenging, illuninating and entertaining.' Neil Smith. University College London

Transformational grammar A first course

作者：  Andrew Radford

出版社：

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Radford's new textbook is primarily for students with little or no background in syntax who need a lively and up-to-date introduction to contemporary work on transformational grammar. It covers four main topics: the goals of linguistic theory, syntactic structure, the nature and role of the lexicon, and the function and operations of transformations. The general framework considers major works, such as Chomsky's Knowledge of Language and Barriers , written since the publication of Radford's widely acclaimed Transformational Syntax in 1981. The present book uses a more recent theoretical construction and also covers a wider range of frameworks at the descriptive level than its predecessor. Radford is well known for his effective teaching approaches and this current volume demonstrates his talent by giving a concise, non-technical introduction to the field. At each chapter's end are exercises that reinforce the text, allowing students to apply the various concepts discussed and encouraging them to look more critically at some of the assumptions and analyses presented. Radford provides a useful, detailed bibliography of primary source material.  

Analysing English sentences : a minimalist approach /

作者：  Andrew Radford.

出版社：

简介：Analysing English Sentences provides a concise and clear introduction to current work in syntactic theory, drawing on the key concepts of Chomsky's Minimalist Program. Assuming little or no prior knowledge of syntax or minimalism, Radford outlines the core concepts and leading ideas and how they can be used to describe various aspects of the syntax of English. A diverse range of topics is covered, including syntactic structure, null constituents, head movement, case and agreement and split projections. Using Radford's trademark approach and writing style, the book is intensive and progressive in nature, introducing grammatical concepts and working in stages towards more complex phenomena.
