Thinking Syntactically: A Guide to Argumentation and Analysis is a textbook designed to teach introductory students the skills of relating data to theory and theory to data. * Helps students develop their thinking and argumentation skills rather than merely introducing them to one particular version of syntactic theory. * Structured around a wide range of exercises that use clear and compelling logic to build arguments and lead up to theoretical proposals. * Data drawn from current media sources, including newspapers, books, and television programs, to help students formulate and test hypotheses. * Generative in spirit, but does not focus on specific theoretical approaches but enables students to understand and evaluate different approaches more easily. * Written by an established author with an international reputation.
原文摘录

One of the properties of generative grammar which I think makes it particularly attractive is that it uses a methodology modeled on what is used in the natural sciences. Thus, generative linguists try to “think” about syntax in a scientific way; they elaborate their analyses using a scientific methodology. The emphasis on methodology entails that, when confronted with a syntactic theory or a particular syntactic analysis, syntacticians do not have to accept the proposals as they are, unthinkingly and blindly. Rather, they can examine the logic behind the proposals, evaluate it, and decide on its merits. Ideally, then, learning generative syntax should imply learning this way of thinking about syntax.

其实是诈骗！这个书写得跟盗墓笔记一样，挖了个终极大坑，就是不告诉你，每一章都要给你留一点悬念，到了最后跟你说什么“我们并不提供一个详尽的、确定的语法理论”。 ———————— （2021-10-17）是写得很好的语法教材，对于我们日常视为“基础”的论述也有详细的论证过程，循循善诱，步步为营。

追根溯源，就是不知道真的假的。
