In conclusion, it must be stressed that this book is not what its front and back cover (the latter especially) claim for it. It does not accord the 'much-debated issue of grammatical relations' serious attention at the theoretical level (the extreme brevity of the chapter headed ' Grammatical Relations' being a first indicator of this); instead it offers GB treatments of syntactic questions many of which are related to the issue of grammatical relations only in the widest sense (i.e. that syntax is about relations in grammar). Nor does it live up to the claim that it is a book for non-specialists. Nonetheless, one welcomes it for what it is: a competent, if slightly patchy, addition to the growing literature in which languages other than English are analysed in Chomskyan terms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
