"The Grammar of Raising and Control is a remarkable book by
many criteria. I was extremely impressed by the skillful way in
which it interweaves grammatical analysis with the history of the
treatment of two central grammatical constructions, at each point
zeroing in on how linguists go about arguing for structures and
rules. This book belongs on the shelf of every syntactician and
student of syntax."
Frederick J. Newmeyer, University of
Washington, Seattle
"This book will be appreciated both as a practical history of
contemporary syntactic theory and as an innovative approach to the
teaching of syntax. Its sharp and sustained focus on the interplay
of data and theory makes it an especially valuable text."
Judith Aissen, University of California at Santa Cruz
