Book excerpt: Written by two of the leading figures in the field, this is a lucid and systematic introduction to semantics as applied to transformational grammars of the "Government-Binding" model.

With exercises and guides to further reading, the volume will be a key text for graduate level and advanced undergraduate introductory courses in semantics.
