Reviews

...clearly a great resource, with its main strength being the creation of a historical context for current P&P approaches to constituency, and libraries should have a copy. * Dirk Bury Linguistics * ...a very good book. Carnie writes in a clear and lucid style. ..an excellent survey of phrase structure in generative grammar...very well written and interesting and it definitely deserves a place on every syntactician's bookshelf. * Fredrik Heinat, The Linguistlist *

<br> Overall, this book provides the researchers and students in syntax, morphology and related aspects of grammar a vital source of information. It is an excellent reference book not only for the variety of issues and various up-to-date approaches it covers, but also for its way of presentation. --Linguist List<p><br>

Author Information

Andrew Carnie is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the University of Arizona. His 1995 dissertation proposed that the traditional distinction between phrases and words is derived and falls out from the interfaces of the syntax with the morphological and semantic components. His publications include the successful textbook Syntax: A Generative Introduction (Blackwell, 2002) and, as co-editor, The Syntax of VSO Languages (OUP, 2002), Formal Approaches to Function (Benjamins, 2003), and Verb First (Benjamins, 2005), as well as articles in theoretical syntax in such journals as Syntax, Journal of Celtic Linguistics, Studia Linguistica, Journal of Linguistics, and Canadian Journal of Linguistics. He is currently working on Irish Nouns: A Guide for Students, Teachers and Researchers (OUP) and Sentence Structure: A course book (CUP).
