SYNTACTIC RELATIONS
Accounts of syntax are usually based on two assumptions; firstly, that a
sentence comprises a hierarchy of phrases, forming a tree structure; and
secondly, that phrases have heads , on which subordinate units depend.
These fundamental assumptions ate questioned in this critical new survey,
which argues that neither concept is as important as is claimed, and that
syntactic relations are in fact far more varied. Drawing on data from English
as well as other major European languages, it summarises earlier accounts of
syntactic structure and looks at the different ways in which specific con¬
structions have been described
-
the subject of much disagreement between
linguists. It explores the problems faced by particular analyses, and raises the
question of whether syntax should be described as simpler than it is. Suitable
for non-specialists and complete with a clear and useful
glossare,
Syntactic
Relations will become an essential and thought-provoking read for students
and researchers in linguistic theory.
