Not a simple introduction,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Concise Introduction to Syntactic Theory: The Government-Binding Approach (Paperback)
This is a case of writing that seems clear if you already know the material, but opaque if you don't. The author states that she wrote for "linguists whose training has been in other theories and who want to learn the essentials of GB theory". She assumes a lot, introducing concepts without explanation. I think a year of syntax is prerequisite. A reader wanting a basic introduction to transformational grammar would probably be better off reading the first few chapters of Ouhalla.
