About the Author:

Robert Borsley is Professor of Linguistics at the University of Essex, UK.

Review:

Borsley has given us a new kind of book: one that combines the best features of other introductory texts on syntax with serious discussion of alternatives to transformational grammar. Maybe we can at last hope for a generation of linguists trained to live in the real world of many theories.
