| Summary |
This book offers an introduction to syntax in three dimensions: part I deals with the history of grammatical theory, part II with synchronic aspects of Present-Day English, and part III with diachronic aspects of English. In this way the field of syntax is seen from a more general perspective than in other works presently available. |
