500			_a"Abridged version of ... Minimalist syntax"--P. [i]. This textbook provides a concise clear and accessible introduction to current syntactic theory drawing on the key concepts of Chomsky’s Minimalist Program. Assuming little or no prior grammatical knowledge Andrew Radford takes students through a wide range of topics in English syntax beginning at an elementary level and progressing in stages towards more advanced material. There is an extensive glossary of technical terms and each chapter contains a workbook section with ‘helpful hints’ exercises and model answers suitable for both class discussion and self-study. This is an abridged version of Radford’s major new textbook Minimalist Syntax (also published by Cambridge University Press) and will be welcomed as a short introduction to current syntactic theory.
