Continuing Syntax is a textbook by a well-regarded author that focuses on syntactic theory. It provides a clear and systematic explanation of the concepts of hierarchy and locality within contemporary linguistics. The book covers essential topics such as configurationality, head movement, sentence structure, nominal structure, subjacency, barriers, and phases.
With numerous example sentences, an extensive glossary, exercises at the end of chapters, and annotations of recommended literature, this reference work helps students deepen and apply their knowledge. Continuing Syntax builds on the earlier work Beginning Syntax and also forms the basis for the third part, Comparing Syntax, which introduces formal syntactic typology.
