E-raamat: Phase Theory: An Introduction

'The future has arrived! Modern syntactic theorizing now has its own up-to-date manual. Citko does an excellent service to the field with this superb, much needed introduction to Phase Theory.' Kleanthes K. Grohmann, University of Cyprus 'In this comprehensive critical survey that clearly explains and evaluates a core theoretical concept, Citko addresses the history, empirical motivations, and current uses of the phase. A hugely useful resource.' David Adger, Queen Mary, University of London 'Comprehensive and well written, Citko's book is an excellent state-of-the-art review of the notion of phases in the Minimalist Program. Readers will have a very clear idea of why phases have become such a hotly discussed issue and feel enticed to participate in the debate. The book is a must-read reference not only for students being acquainted with Minimalism, but to anyone interested in current syntactic theory and the syntax-semantics and syntax-phonology interfaces.'
