"She has filled a desperate need in the field--a book that is both readable and up-to-date. Readers have much to gain from Napoli's book, and for them, it will be interesting to see how the current formulation of the theory handles what had been problems for the earlierversion."--Language, "Well written and lively, with interesting problem sets. Professor Napoli has managed to make intelligible a difficult subject without talking down to students, or assuming vast prior knowledge."--Marilyn Silva, California State University, Hayward"A splendid textbook. I especially like Ms Napoli's tone and her inductive approach....I also like the fact that [she] consistently presents one theory and does not try to be eclectic; her emphasis is on analysis and drawing conclusions. Great!"--R.M.R. Hall, Queens College, City University of New York"She has filled a desperate need in the field--a book that is both readable and up-to-date.

Synopsis
This work introduces general readers and scholars from other disciplines who wish to learn linguistic methodology to linguistic analysis of sentences and phrases within a Government and Binding framework. The issues discussed are nonetheless fundamental to all modern theories of syntax, and prepare readers to read articles written in a diversity of theories. Each chapter concludes with a brief summary of the picture of the theory developed thus far, and the multiple problem sets cover English, Japanese, and Romance languages. Comprehensive yet accessible, Syntax: Theory and Problems ennables readers to approach linguistic literature framed by the modern theories of today, and to approach the issues discussed in that literature with an open mind., This introduction to the theory of syntax teaches students with no prior knowledge of linguistics to do syntactic analysis within a Government and Binding framework.
