perfect for starters

It is an introduction to syntax textbook especially perfect for undergrads. It is illustrated throughout the book. The chapters are short and clear-cut. I would recommend it to students who are new to the field of syntax. Although I have only read a few chapters so far so good!
Here is what I think after I have studied the rest of the book: The book is not only good for undergrads but also for grads, I might say, who are new to the field. I also forgot to mention that there are exercises for you to practice what you've done that far. Most of the exercises were not written for the sake of adding an exercises section because I found most of them pretty good. After you read several chapters, you do not get bored with it or get tired even if you are new to the topic. I do not know what makes this impression, it may be the illustrations or the layout, or the language used, or it may be a combination of all. Other than that, if you are not new to syntax, you may find the book very slow-paced. Otherwise, it is great!

Slow-Paced and Misleading Textbook
2011/11/14
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
I'm a 3rd-year Linguistics undergrad and this textbook was used in my Syntax class this semester. I have no previous experience with syntax except about a week's worth of overview in Intro to Linguistics. I have read 20 of 28 units in Grammar as Science and I find it frustrating and misleading. I read about 20 pages in An Introduction to Language, which explained a lot of the material in a clear, straightforward way that I understood in one night. I am not familiar with any beginning syntax textbooks, but I'm assuming there's a better one than Grammar as Science.
The text is structured in such a way that is intended to make it easier, by simplifying many aspects of grammar, introducing them in one way at the beginning, and then eventually showing you how it's actually done. The simplified explanations are wrong, but presented at first as if they were right. This was really confusing for me. I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out why it didn't make sense, when really I should have just read ahead to discover that it didn't make sense because it was wrong. I can't speak for everyone, but I would have found it much easier and less stressful to be taught the unsimplified version from the start. Even if it's more complicated, that doesn't mean it's more difficult to understand.
I also found the style off-putting. There are cartoons with speech bubbles that contain text that doesn't make sense as dialogue. The Intro is a strange metaphor relating the textbook/the study of syntax to an adventure, referring to "terrain", "maps", and "guides", complete with a cartoon of Noam Chomsky with a safari hat on. This is pretty insignificant and probably doesn't bother most people, but I found it kind of patronizing and it's a good example of the un-straightforwardness (for lack of a better word) that dominates throughout the book.
