Syntactic Structures (643 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. 2015 Reprint of 1957 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. Not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.

With its formal and logical treatment of language, Syntactic Structures also brought linguistics and the new field of computer science closer together.…
