This abridged version of Radford's Minimalist Syntax: Exploring the Structure of English offers a concise, accessible introduction to current syntactic theory, drawing on the key concepts of Chomsky's Minimalist Program. Assuming little or no prior grammatical knowledge, it leads students through a range of topics in English syntax, beginning at an elementary level and progressing in stages towards more advanced material. An extensive glossary is included and each chapter contains a workbook section with "helpful hints", exercises, and model answers, suitable for class discussion and self-study.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Radford's new book displays all the qualities we have come to associate with his work: unparalleled clarity, original analyses, and a humorous presentation. He has a unique talent for making even the most abstract ideas accessible. If you want to understand the latest developments in current syntactic theory, read it.' Neil V. Smith FBA, University College London

'This textbook shows a healthy (and rare) mix of recent and up-dated discussion of current syntactic theory and a detailed description of English syntax. Students can learn from this volume most of the major syntactic characteristics of English, while becoming ready for more advanced work in linguistic theory.' Naoki Fukui, Sophia University, Tokyo

'This new textbook provides a concise overview of most of the major areas of current syntactic theory, and is thoroughly up to date. Over years, my students have told me that they appreciate Andrew Radford's ability to explain complicated ideas in a simple and down to earth way.' Tim Stowell, University of California, Los Angeles

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great deal for a Poor Starving Student
    Reviewed in Canada on October 9, 2013

    The book was exactly what I needed for my Seminar in syntax class. It cost $30 less than the price listed at the university bookstore and it was in good shape. The paper is thin and the text size is on the small side, and this allows it to look like a condensed version while maintaining all the information.
    After getting through customs, it took 15 days to arrive to my apartment (which is 3 hours away from the border), but it was sent in a timely manner.
    The content is described well and it is worth a read, from those who are interested in formalist syntax.

    彼の前著である、Syntax-Minimalist Introductionをより詳しく説明している感じがしました。Radfordは学部生レベルでもある程度の知識があれば読みこなせると思います。生成文法に興味のある学生や、大学院入試を控えた学生にはよいと思いますし、レベルも内容も十分語学に興味のある人にとっては満たされるものだと思います。
