did it work? Is there perhaps a better text to use?





Fromkin and Rodman is very good for the beginning to intermediate under-

graduate level. The prof in Intro to Language here at UVM used it in his

class, and I got an A- after being out of college for ten years. It's one

of the few textbooks that's actually a fun and even humorous read. (The

prof in question, James Lubker is friend of the Fromkin family; his daugh-

ter Desa is mentioned in the book a couple of times, in a couple of the

syntactical examples)
