Features: This book systematically introduces the mainstream theories of contemporary syntactic research—the Principles and Parameters Theory, comprehensively covering its various sub-theoretical components: Thematic Theory, X-bar Theory, Case Theory, Government and Binding Theory, Control Theory, Government Theory, and Edge Theory, etc. It is well-structured, concise, and easy to understand. Starting from linguistic facts, the authors proceed from the surface to the core in a step-by-step manner, not only providing a comprehensive introduction to linguistic theories but also integrating research methods into the process, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the theoretical construction, "witness" and participate in the theoretical development, thereby enhancing their research capabilities in theoretical linguistics.
