Since its first publication in 1991 Liliane Haegeman's
Introduction to Government and Binding Theory has become
established as the most authoritative introduction to the
Principles and Parameters approach to syntactic theory. This new
edition has been extensively updated throughout. Major structural
changes include new chapters on Functional Heads and Head Movement
and on Relativized Minimality. Discussions of a number of topics
missing from or not paid due attention in the first edition have
been integrated or expanded, for example: the structure of small
clauses (in chaprer 2), chain formation (in chapter 6), and
reconstruction, multiple movement, wh-absorption, Full
Interpretation, and expletive replacement (in chapter 9). The
copious exercises have been revised to increase potential for
creativty and flexibility of approach. New exericases highlight
further controversial issues.
In short, this book offers a complete, updated introduction to the current state of Government and Binding Theory, suitable for readers with some basic knowledge of generative linguistics.
