Since its first publication in 1991 Liliane Haegeman's Introduction to Government and Binding Theory has become established as the most authoritative introduction to the Principles and Parameters approach to syntactic theory. This new edition has been extensively updated throughout. Major structural changes include new chapters on Functional Heads and Head Movement and on Relativized Minimality. Discussions of a number of topics missing from or not paid due attention in the first edition have been integrated or expanded, for example: the structure of small clauses (in chaprer 2), chain formation (in chapter 6), and reconstruction, multiple movement, wh-absorption, Full Interpretation, and expletive replacement (in chapter 9). The copious exercises have been revised to increase potential for creativty and flexibility of approach. New exericases highlight further controversial issues.
In short, this book offers a complete, updated introduction to the current state of Government and Binding Theory, suitable for readers with some basic knowledge of generative linguistics.

原文摘录

It must by now have become clear that by simply looking at English and only that, the generative linguist cannot hope to achieve his goal. All he can do is write a grammar of English that is observationally and descriptively adequate but he will not be able to provide a model of the knowledge of the native speaker and how it is attained. The generativist will have to compare English with other languages to discover to what extent the properties he has identified are universal and to what extent they are language-specific choices determined by universal grammar. Even when his main concern is some aspect of the grammar of English the linguist will have to go outside this one language and engage in contrastive work.
Work in generative linguistics is therefore by definition comparative. Gener... (查看原文)

4.5星, 喜爱作者近乎偏执的自我否定写作方式,知识考古的味道浓郁,有利于科学理论思辩;唯一缺点是文字太冗长,节奏有点拖沓,和非英语母语国家的瑞士学究型口吻
