About this title

Review

- David W. Lightfoot, Director, Linguistics Program, The University of Maryland

" A novel, Socratic approach to teaching current work on syntax. "A Course in GB Syntax" conveys the energy of the classroom and has the great virtue of confronting alternatives more clearly than conventional textbooks, giving a sense of what future revisions of the theory will address. An invaluable resource for courses introducing government-binding theory." - David W. Lightfoot, Director, Linguistics Program, The University of Maryland

From the Back Cover

Howard Lasnik's lectures, here presented in book form with the assistance of Juan Uriagereka, are a model of clarity and insight. Presupposing only some limited acquaintance with linguistic theory, they lead the reader, carefully and lucidly, to the borders of current research in linguistics.
