Overview

The Practical Guide to Syntactic Analysis is a resource for students and practitioners of syntax at all levels, covering matters that textbooks do not explain, including the seductive metaphors of generative grammar, the character of linguistic argumentation, theory-independent guidance for refining analyses, and capsule a sketch of the evolution of syntactic theory into its current directions. The sections are relatively independent, and may be consulted in any order.
