5.0 out of 5 stars syntax will be seen in a constructional principle, February 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Barriers (Linguistic Inquiry Monographs) (Paperback)

Thinking to develope the theoretical framework itself , is highly technical; but Chomsky presents this book as if you are reading a novel or great epic.
