著作简介

The Cambridge Handbook of Experimental Syntax

《剑桥实验句法手册》

简介：

随着语言学研究越来越关注可复制的语言数据，无论是在实地调查还是实验室研究中，实验句法都是一个快速发展的领域。该手册是第一本系统性介绍该领域研究的书籍，汇集了诸多国际知名学者的最新研究成果，深入分析了该领域目前存在的问题和今后的发展趋势。该书特别关注句子可接受性实验，提出了当前最佳的测试方法，并为后续研究提供了新思路。该书回顾了过去20年的研究成果，涵盖了具体的句法现象和不同的语言类型。此外，还讨论了句法研究的常见心理语言学和神经语言学方法，将它们与可接受性实验进行对比，并针对理论语言学和实验语言学之间的相互作用提供了有价值的研究视角。该手册为那些对利用实验方法进行句法研究感兴趣的学生和语言学研究者提供了最新的参考，是该领域的必读之作。

Abstract:

Experimental Syntax is an area that is rapidly growing as linguistic research becomes increasingly focused on replicable language data, in both fieldwork and laboratory environments. The first of its kind, this Handbook provides an in-depth overview of current issues and trends in this field, with contributions from leading international scholars. It pays special attention to sentence acceptability experiments, outlining current best practices in conducting tests, and pointing out promising new avenues for future research. Separate sections review research results from the past 20 years, covering specific syntactic phenomena and language types. The handbook also outlines other common psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic methods for studying syntax, comparing and contrasting them with acceptability experiments, and giving useful perspectives on the interplay between theoretical and experimental linguistics. Providing an up-to-date reference on this exciting field, it is essential reading for students and researchers in linguistics interested in using experimental methods to conduct syntactic research.

Grant Goodall，加州大学圣地亚哥分校语言学教授。他于1987年出版了颇具影响力的《句法中的平行结构》，同时发表了大量与英语、西班牙语和其他语言中的句法现象相关的文章。近年来，他一直致力于使用实验技术解决句法理论中长期存在的问题，成为了该领域的领军人物。

Grant Goodall is Professor of Linguistics at University of California, San Diego. He is the author of the influential 1987 book Parallel Structures in Syntax and of many important articles on syntactic phenomena in English, Spanish, and other languages. In recent years, he has been at the forefront of using experimental techniques to address longstanding questions in syntactic theory.
