A distillation of a very successful graduate course in syntax, this book focuses primarily on raising-to-object structures, but does not fail to consider control constructions, as well as data from a wide variety of languages. The volume includes excerpts from six important works that allow students to familiarize themselves with the original literature while also providing discussion of the theoretical contexts in which they were written.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990242967781,"sku":"NP9780631233015","price":147.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631233015.jpg?v=1761787035","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-grammar-of-raising-and-control-isbn-9780631233015","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
