Elements of Grammar

  • Chapter
Elements of Grammar

Part of the book series: Kluwer International Handbooks of Linguistics ((KIHL))

Abstract

The aim of this handbook is to provide a forum in which some of the generative syntacticians whose work has had an impact on theoretical syntax over the past 20 years are invited to present their views on one or more aspects of current syntactic theory. The handbook is destined for an audience of linguists working in the generative framework. A general background knowledge of generative syntax is essential for the understanding of this book, but I hope that the introduction below will make the book accessible not only to a specialized audience but also to advanced students who are relatively new to the field.

Thanks to Kleanthes Grohmann and to Michal Starke for their comments on a first version of this introduction. Needless to say, all remaining inadequacies and errors are my own.
