The publication of the 5th edition of English Syntax and Argumentation is a testimony to Aarts’ extraordinary successful tour de force of syntactic argumentation. Aarts has managed to account for many abstract syntax concepts in a way that is truly enlightening for students and instructors alike. The addition of a new chapter on ‘information packaging’, an answer key, and the lucidity of the analysis put this text in a class of its own.
