This book is ideal for readers interested in English and linguistic focusing on English. It shows how a restricted set of principles can account for a wide range of the phenomena of English syntax.

While the main focus of the book is empirical, it introduces important theoretical concepts: theta theory, X-bar theory, case theory, locality, binding theory, economy, full interpretation, functional projections. It prepares readers for more advanced theoretical work. The authors integrate many recent insights into the nature of syntactic structure into their discussion. They present information in a gradual way: hypotheses developed in early chapters are reviewed and modified in subsequent ones.
