About this title: This textbook provides a concise, readable introduction to contemporary work in syntactic theory, particularly to key concepts of Chomsky's minimalist programme.

The discussion is largely based on data from a range of varieties of English (not only Modern Standard, but also Belfast English, Shakespearean English, Jamaican Creole, etc.) and does not presuppose any prior knowledge of syntax. There are exercises and a substantial glossary. This is an abridged version of Radford's ...

"A really easy 2 understand book on the most important aspects of syntax written 2 help us explore the structure of English. Unlike many other books on this and similar topics in linguistics, the language is clear and not larded up with technical jargon. Written in an approachable style & avoiding structural complexity, it`s not historistics or comparative in orientation, thus does not presuppose knowledge of earlier or alternative models of grammar... The book includes 10 chapters about basic elements of syntax like grammar, words, structure, null constituents, head movement, wh-movement, a-movement, split projections, phases, agreement, case & movement. Also it containes an extensive glossary that provides simple illustrations of how key terms r used. The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is that the book contains numerous refrences 2, highly technical, primary research works & its exercises r designed in such a way that they cannot be tackled on the basis of the course book material alone! Other than that, this is a great book that changed how I view my dabbling in subjects."
