Analyzing Syntax: A Lexical-Functional Approach (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics)
Analyzing Syntax: A Lexical-Functional Approach is a comprehensive and accessible textbook on syntactic analysis, designed for students of linguistics at advanced undergraduate or graduate level. Working within the 'Lexical Functional Grammar' (LFG) approach, it provides students with a framework for analyzing and describing grammatical structure, using extensive examples from both European and non-European languages. While its primary focus is on syntactic structure, it also deals with aspects of meaning, function and word-structure that are directly relevant to syntax. This textbook is ideal for one-semester courses in syntax and grammatical analysis.
