Features: This book comprehensively introduces Chomsky's generative-transformational syntax theory. The focus is on the peak of Chomsky's theory—the Principles and Parameters approach. It first details the Dominance and Constraint Theory as an early stage, discussing each relatively independent yet interacting theoretical module, and then explores the Minimalist Program as a recent development.
