Andrew Radford has acquired an unrivalled reputation over the past forty
years for writing syntax textbooks in which difficult concepts are
clearly explained without excessive use of technical jargon. Analysing
English Sentence Structure continues in this tradition, offering a
well-structured intermediate course in English syntax and contemporary
syntactic theory. Chapters are split into core modules, each focusing on
a specific topic, and the reader is supported throughout with learning
aids such as summaries, lists of key hypotheses and principles,
extensive references, exercises with handy hints, and a glossary of
terminology. Both teachers and instructors will benefit from the book's
free online resources, which comprise an open-access Students'
Answerbook, and a password-protected Teachers' Answerbook, each
containing comprehensive answers to exercises, with detailed tree
diagrams. The book and accompanying resources are designed to serve both
as a coursebook for use in class, and as a self-study resource for use
at home.
