Why is it important?
This book on Dependency Grammar approaches the notion from the point of view of historical epistemology. It provides a wealth of analyses of great interest for the study of linguistic ideas.
Perspectives
Chapters of Dependency Grammar is a valuable contribution to the history of linguistic ideas in the field of syntax. It is particularly recommended for the methodological precision and erudition of the introduction and the various chapters. The book provides an opportunity to deepen our knowledge of authors who have long remained in the shadows, and it allows us to redefine the exact place that should be given to Tesnière’s work in the history of Dependency Grammar.
