About The Book

In This Illuminating New Theory Of Grammar Hubert Haider Demonstrates That There Is A Basic Asymmetry In The Phrase Structure Of Any Language Whatever Sentence Structure It Takes. Moreover He Argues That Understanding This Asymmetry Is The Key To Understanding The Grammatical Causality Underlying A Broad Range Of Core Syntactic Phenomena. Until Now Germanic Languages Have Been Seen To Fall Into Two Distinct Classes: Those Which Take An Object-Verb Sentence Structure (Ov) Or A Verb-Object One (Vo). However By Examining The Nature Of This Universal Underlying Asymmetry Hubert Haider Reveals A Third Syntactic Type: ''Type Iii''. In Particular He Employs The Third Type To Explore The Cognitive Evolution Of Grammar Which Gave Rise To The Structural Asymmetry And Its Typological Implications. Symmetry Breaking In Syntax Will Appeal To Academic Researchers And Graduate Students Involved In Comparative And Theoretical Syntax And The Cognitive Evolution Of Grammar.
