English Syntax: An Introduction Paperback – Abridged, 15 April 2004

The book was exactly what I needed for my Seminar in syntax class. It cost $30 less than the price listed at the university bookstore and it was in good shape. The paper is thin and the text size is on the small side, and this allows it to look like a condensed version while maintaining all the information.After getting through customs, it took 15 days to arrive to my apartment (which is 3 hours away from the border), but it was sent in a timely manner.The content is described well and it is worth a read, from those who are interested in formalist syntax.

巻末のGlossaryが便利ですね。文献などを読むときの辞書がわりに使ってます。

彼の前著である、Syntax-Minimalist Introductionをより詳しく説明している感じがしました。Radfordは学部生レベルでもある程度の知識があれば読みこなせると思います。生成文法に興味のある学生や、大学院入試を控えた学生にはよいと思いますし、レベルも内容も十分語学に興味のある人にとっては満たされるものだと思います。
