Minimalist Syntax: Exploring the Structure of English (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics) by Radford, Andrew. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521542746.

Andrew Radfords latest textbook provides a concise, accessible introduction to current work in syntactic theory, drawing on the key concepts of Chomskys Minimalist Program. Assuming little or no prior knowledge of syntactic theory, Radford leads students through a diverse range of topics in English syntax. Each chapter contains a workbook section, in which students are encouraged to make their own analysis of English phrases and sentences through exercises, model answers, and "helpful hints". There is also an extensive glossary of terms.
