The Routledge Handbook of Syntax provides a comprehensive survey of major theoretical and empirical issues in contemporary syntactic theory and keeps the reader up-to-date with the current state of the art in the field.

"Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge."

"The Handbook brings together thoughtful and judicious essays by outstanding scholars, covering the many aspects of syntax that have been explored and developed extensively in recent years. It is sure to be of great value to a wide range of users, from students to those engaged in advanced research, as well as to others who want to gain some sense of current ideas about the nature of language. A very welcome and impressive contribution."Noam Chomsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA "This is an excellent book, both rich in detail and beautifully clear and accessible. The most important phenomena and theoretical issues in generative grammar are discussed in an even-handed and interesting way. The combination of historical perspective, theoretical and methodological breadth, and up-to-date insights makes it a must-read for graduate students, and a valuable resource for specialists."Elizabeth Cowper, University of Toronto, Canada "...[The Routledge Handbookof Syntax]is overall a stellar addition to the growing body of survey literature that deserves a special slot on every syntactician's book shelf, and is sure to leave its mark on many future syntax syllabi."Dennis Ott, University of Ottawa, Canada, The LINGUIST List
