Grammatical Theory: From Transformational Grammar to Constraint-Based Approaches provides an introduction to major formal approaches to grammatical theory and compares their assumptions and analyses. Stefan Müller discusses Phrase Structure Grammar, Transformational Grammar and Government & Binding, Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Construction Grammar, and Tree Adjoining Grammar. Using German as the main object language, the book examines how different frameworks analyze arguments and adjuncts, active and passive constructions, word order, verb placement, and long-distance constituent fronting. It also compares these theories in terms of language acquisition and psycholinguistic plausibility, critically examines the nativist hypothesis, and discusses alternative models of language learning. The book concludes by considering how common properties of languages and language classes can be captured within grammatical theory.
