About this book

Radical Construction Grammar: Syntactic Theory in Typological Perspective by Croft, William. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780198299547.

This book is based on the results of research in language typology, and motivated by the need for a theory to explain them. Croft proposes intimate links between syntactic and semantic structures, and argues that the basic elements of any language are not syntactic but rather syntactic-semantic "Gestalts." He puts forward a new approach to syntactic representation and a new model of how language and languages work.
