Lexical-functional Syntax Résumé

Lexical-functional Syntax Joan W. Bresnan

Lexical-Functional Syntax is the definitive text for Lexical-Functional Grammar in the field of syntax. Complete with integrated pedagogy and problem sets to support the text, this book provides an accessible, empirically-motivated treatment of the mathematical architecture of LFG. It also covers the theoretical linguistic ideas that LFG can model, and discusses the wide range of cross-linguistic syntactic phenomena to which it has been applied.

Lexical-functional Syntax Avis

This is a clear, user-friendly, and authoritative presentation of LFG by one its principal architects. Readers of all kinds - neophytes, LFG-insiders, and aficionados of other models - will find much to enthuse and entertain them. This is a major contribution to the theoretical syntactic literature. Nigel Vincent, University of Manchester This is a very important book. Bresnan combines her famously lucid prose style, her unobtrusive erudition, and a penetrating grasp of the issues to provide an overview of LFG that will be greatly welcomed by advanced student and researcher alike. The remarkable empirical and theoretical breadth of the work make this essential reading for all serious students of syntax and morphosyntax, regardless of their theoretical persuasion. Andrew Spencer, University of Essex
