Opis

An invaluable reference tool for students and researchers in theoretical linguistics, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Syntax has been revised and expanded to incorporate the last 10 years of syntactic research. As with the first edition, which was hailed for the breadth and depth of its coverage, this edition charts the development and historiography of syntactic theory with coverage of a large number of subdomains of syntax. It contains over 120 chapters that explain, analyze, and contextualize important empirical studies within syntax over the last 50 years. Under the editorship of two esteemed syntacticians, Martin Everaert and Henk van Riemsdijk, it brings together cutting–edge contributions from a global group of linguists. Encyclopedic in scope, it features an accessible alphabetical structure across 8 print volumes and a complete index within each volume with keywords and key figures, as well as being available online. Once again setting the standard for the field, this is an essential and unparalleled collection of syntactic research.

An invaluable reference tool for students and researchers in theoretical linguistics, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Syntax has been updated to incorporate the last 10 years of syntactic research and expanded to include a wider array of important case studies in the syntax of a broad array of languages.
