Grammatical Relations

ISBN: 9780199264018 出版年：2005 页码：245 Farrell, Patrick Oxford University Press

Patrick Farrell explains how grammatical relations are characterized in competing theories of grammar and reveals the different theories' merits and limitations. He compares mainstream generative-transformational theory with formalist and functionalist approaches, showing points of convergence and divergence. This is an ideal introduction to the field for graduate students and will be a useful reference for theoretical syntacticians of all persuasions.
