An Introduction to English Sentence Structure

About this book

This outstanding resource for students offers a step-by-step practical introduction to English syntax and syntactic principles as developed by Chomsky over the past 15 years. Assuming little or no prior background in syntax Andrew Radford outlines the core concepts and how they can be used to describe various aspects of English sentence structure. This is an abridged version of Radfords major new textbook Analysing English Sentences (also published by Cambridge University Press) and will be welcomed as a handy introduction to current syntactic theory.
