This critical survey questions two fundamental assumptions in syntactic theory: firstly, that a sentence comprises a hierarchy of phrases, forming a 'tree' structure; and secondly, that phrases have 'heads', on which subordinate units depend. An essential and thought-provoking read for students, researchers in linguistic theory as well as non-specialists.
