"This book explores the major theories of generative grammar from a historical perspective, providing an overview and tracing the evolution of this linguistic framework. Generative grammar is widely recognized for its major contributions to the study of theoretical linguistics in the 20th century and has had a profound impact on the fields of linguistics, psychology, computer science, and cognitive science. This book consists of eight chapters that trace the development of generative grammar from its beginnings to its current focus on minimalism. The first chapter outlines the major stages of generative grammar, namely classical theory, standard theory, extended standard theory, revised extended standard theory, government and binding theory, and the minimalist program. The second chapter reviews the development of the C-command and illustrates its use in syntactic analysis. Each of the following six chapters focuses on a specific area of generative grammar, including phrase structure theory, movement theory, Case theory, argument structure theory, binding theory, and raising and control. The title will be an invaluable resource for researchers, teachers, and students in the fields of generative grammar, syntax, formal linguistics, and the social and cognitive sciences"-- Provided by publisher.
