The key assumptions are explained and it is shown how the respective theory treats arguments and adjuncts, the active/passive alternation, local reorderings, verb placement, and fronting of constituents over long distances. The analyses are explained with German as the object language. The second part of the book compares these approaches with respect to their predictions regarding language acquisition and psycholinguistic plausibility. The nativism hypothesis, which assumes that humans posses genetically determined innate language-specific knowledge, is critically examined and alternative models of language acquisition are discussed. The second part then addresses controversial issues of current theory building such as the question of flat or binary branching structures being more appropriate, the question whether constructions should be treated on the phrasal or the lexical level, and the question whether abstract, non-visible entities should play a role in syntactic analyses. It is shown that the analyses suggested in the respective frameworks are often translatable into each other. The book closes with a chapter showing how properties common to all languages or to certain classes of languages can be captured.","Fourth revised and extended edition","xvii, 853 Seiten","978-3-96110-273-0","978-3-96110-277-8 (Hardcover)||978-3-96110-274-7 (Softcover)","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/28847||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-28596","urn:nbn:de:kobv:188-refubium-28847-1","eng","https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","400 Sprache::410 Linguistik::410 Linguistik","Grammatical theory||Phrase Structure Grammar||Construction Grammar||Lexical Functional Grammar||Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar||Tree Adjoining Grammar","Grammatical theory","From transformational grammar to constraint-based approaches","Buch","free","open access","10.5281/zenodo.3992307","Language Science Press","https://langsci-press.org/catalog/book/287","2364-6209","Philosophie und Geisteswissenschaften","Institut für Deutsche und Niederländische Philologie:::85725829-673f-4183-8d14-827841ae57b5:::600","1","Textbooks in Language Sciences"
