<p><b> Andrew Carnie</b> is Professor of Linguistics and Faculty Director in the Graduate College at the University of Arizona. He specializes in generative syntactic theory with an emphasis on constituency, VSO languages, copular constructions and Celtic languages. He is the author of numerous other publications, including <i>Irish Nouns </i>(2008), <i>Constituent Structure</i> (2010), <i>Formal Approaches to Celtic Linguistics</i> (2011), <i>Modern Syntax</i> (2011), and <i>The Syntax Workbook: A Companion to Carnie's Syntax (2012).</i>

New chapters cover auxiliaries, ellipsis, and non-configurational languages. For the first time, an optional companion Workbook is also available; the table of contents correlates with the textbook and is designed to help offer students practice at analyzing syntactic structure. The enhanced online resources for both instructors and students, now available at www.wiley.com/go/carnie, include online-only chapters on HPSG and LFG, and offer tried and tested resources from the previous editions. <p>Comprehensive, engaging, and ideally structured for study, this third edition of Syntax is the most robust introduction to the major issues in generative syntactic theory available today.
