More about the book
Focusing on syntactic theory, Robert Frank integrates Tree Adjoining Grammar (TAG) with the minimalist framework, highlighting the mathematical and computational strengths of TAG. He argues that its restrictive operations streamline the understanding of grammatical competence, especially regarding syntactic movement and locality. Through detailed case studies on subject-raising constructions and wh-questions, the book illustrates the empirical benefits of this model, suggesting a grammar conception with limited computational power.
