This is a comprehensive introduction to current linguistic theory. It supposes no previous knowledge and terms are defined as they are introduced, but it gives a fairly rigorous and technical treatment of a wide range of topics, and brings the reader to an advanced level of understanding. It deals fully with those aspects of the subject which are currently most studied, and most rapidly developing. It deliberately draws out the parallelism between traditional grammar and transformational syntax, in more detail than in other books yet published. It also corrects some misleading statements on the relationship between traditional grammar and modern linguistic theory. It gives more than usual space to the discussion of semantics and grammatical categories.
