GRAMMAR

Theories of Syntax Concepts and Case Studies

Mastering Practical Grammar Sara Thorne, Educational Consultant, LEA English Adviser, UK

Koenraad Kuiper, Professor Emeritus, University of Canterbury, New Zealand; Honorary Professor, University of Sydney, Australia and Jacqueline Nokes, Part-time Lecturer and PhD Candidate, University of Canterbury, New Zealand

Introduces the basic terminology and concepts of modern grammar, with practical reinforcement throughout. The book contains exercises to test understanding and give readers the opportunity to consider grammar in context.

‘The air in New Zealand is amazingly clear and objects appear sharper and brighter than in the northern hemisphere. Kiwi clarity and sharpness have found their way into this excellent book by Koenraad Kuiper and Jacqui Nokes, the sort of explanatory and comparative account that is all too rare in theoretical syntax. In clear, smooth prose, with memorable examples and metaphors, they set out the workings of four formal models: Principles and Parameters, Minimalism, Lexical Functional Grammar and Systemic Grammar...the book is a delight to read.’ - Jim Miller, University of Edinburgh, UK ‘Theories of Syntax will be an excellent text for a course whose aim it is not to train syntactic ‘mechanics’, but rather to give non-beginner students a sound understanding of what it involves to approach syntactic phenomena from different views of what scientific work is about.’ Rudolf Botha, Stellenbosch University, South Africa Exploring four major theories of syntax this book examines how we understand the rules and principles that govern sentence structure. With clear explanations of how different models deal with the same syntactic phenomena, the book gives students a strong context and framework for understanding syntax.
