Purpose Clauses

Focusing on the syntactic analysis of purpose clauses, the book critiques the existing Government-Binding theory, which has long regarded these clauses as peripheral. It identifies gaps in the standard treatment of purpose clauses and proposes an alternative analysis that better accounts for their unique properties. By delving into the nuances of these constructions, the author aims to provide a fresh perspective that enhances understanding within the framework of syntactic theory, challenging established notions in the field.
