近年来，在政府约束/极简主义框架下，词序由功能和词汇类别决定。在这个框架中，功能类别通常被认为存在于每种语言中，而该语言中没有可用的证据。这本书包含了这样的论点，即即使通用语法提供了功能类别，语言学习者必须决定是否将它们纳入他或她的语法。例如，研究表明，英语在补语和否定之间只有一个（而不是通常认为的两个）功能范畴，但荷兰语、瑞典语、德语、古英语和中古英语等语言却没有。从书名可以看出目前的研究方向；这也可以从英语中发生的变化中看出来。
In recent years, word order has come to be seen, within a Government Binding/Minimalist framework, as determined by functional as well as lexical categories. Within this framework, functional categories are often seen as present in every language without evidence being available in that language. This book contains arguments that even though Universal Grammar makes functional categories available, the language learner must decide whether or not to incorporate them in his or her grammar. For instance, it is shown that English has one (not two as often assumed) functional category between the complementizer and the Negation, but that languages such as Dutch, Swedish, German and Old and Middle English have none. The title of the book can be seen in terms of the direction current research is taking; it can also be seen in terms of the changes that have taken place in English.
