Descriere

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

 


Textul de pe ultima copertă

Written as a companion to the bestselling textbook, Syntax: A Generative Introduction, this workbook features over 120 new exercises in a format that corresponds to each chapter of the textbook. Students and instructors alike consistently point to the need for more exercises than can be provided in a single volume; this Workbook expands upon those in the textbook to give students more practice at mastering the concepts discussed. The provision of end–of–chapter answers makes The Syntax Workbook especially useful for self–study.

The exercises and topics covered include phrase structure, the lexicon, Case theory, ellipsis, auxiliaries, movement, covert movement, locality conditions, VP shells, and control. A website at www.wiley.com/go/carnie includes additional resources that can be accessed, including further exercises, links for further reading, and extra material on HPSG and LFG. This website supports the third edition of Carnie s Syntax: A Generative Introduction as well as this workbook.
