With her usual flair and a host of attested examples, Liliane Haegeman has provided a painless and perceptive introduction to the science of syntax.\" Neil Smith, University College London  \"Linguists' partners complain that they pay no attention to what they say, only to how they say it. Haegeman makes a virtue of this, shows where it leads and how remarkable the human capacity for language is once one thinks of it formally. She has a wonderful eye and many of her examples are drawn from newspapers and novels.\" David Lightfoot, National Science Foundation, Directorate for Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface. \u003cp\u003e1: Introduction: The Scientific Study of Language.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2: Diagnostics for Syntactic Structure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3: Lexical Projections and Functional Projections.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4: Refining Structures: From One Subject Position to Many.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5: The Periphery of the Sentence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscussion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExercises.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49407855624535,"sku":"9781405118521","price":97.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781405118521.jpg?v=1730500751","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/thinking-syntactically-9781405118521","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
