Analyzing Grammar
Analyzing Grammar is a clear introductory textbook on grammatical analy-
sis, designed for students beginning to study the discipline. Covering both
syntax (the structure of phrases and sentences) and morphology (the structure
of words), it equips them with the tools and methods needed to analyze gram-
matical patterns in any language. Students are shown how to use standard
notational devices such as Phrase Structure trees and word-formation rules,
as well as prose descriptions, and are encouraged to practice using these tools
through a diverse range of problem sets and exercises. Emphasis is placed
paring the different grammatical systems of the world’s languages.
Topics covered include word order, constituency, case, agreement, tense,
gender, pronoun systems, inflection, derivation, argument structure, and
Grammatical Relations, and a useful glossary provides a clear explanation
of each term.
