Against the background of the past half century’s typological and generative work on comparative syntax, this volume brings together 16 papers considering what we have learned and may still be able to learn about the nature and extent of syntactic variation. More specifically, it offers a multi-perspective critique of the Principles and Parameters approach to syntactic variation, evaluating the merits and shortcomings of the pre-Minimalist phase of this enterprise and considering and illustrating the possibilities opened up by recent empirical and theoretical advances.

Teaching English through English
The underlying assumption in books of this type is that it is better to teach the "language" of English through the medium of English. This review does not attempt to argue the merits of using L1 (student's language) or L2 (a foreign language) such a discussion merits hundreds of pages, and dozens of hours of discussion.
Many do choose to use English to teach English, and others may have little choice in the matter. This is the book for those who plan to teach English through English, even if not using English exclusively.
