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. The book is a translation of the German book Grammatiktheorie, which was published by Stauffenburg in 2010. 410 0$aTextbooks in language sciences ;$v1. 606 $aGenerative grammar 606 $aGovernment (Grammar) 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aComputational linguistics 606 $aLanguage acquisition 606 $aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching 606 $aGermanic languages$xSyntax 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aGenerative grammar. 615 0$aGovernment (Grammar) 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xSyntax. 615 0$aLinguistics. 615 0$aComputational linguistics. 615 0$aLanguage acquisition. 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aGermanic languages$xSyntax. 676 $a415.01 700 $aMu?ller$b Stefan$f1968-,$0871437 801 0$bAuAdUSA 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137004003321 996 $aGrammatical theory$91945437 997 $aUNINA
