"A Transformational Approach to English Syntax: Root, Structure-Preserving, and Local Transformations" by Joseph Emonds,
The book is based on the theory of generative grammar, which is a theory of how language is produced. Generative grammar posits that there are a set of rules that govern how sentences are formed. These rules are called transformations.
Emonds' book argues that there are two types of transformations: root transformations and structure-preserving transformations. Root transformations change the basic structure of a sentence, while structure-preserving transformations do not. Emonds also argues that transformations are local, meaning that they only affect a small part of a sentence at a time.
The book is considered to be a classic in the field of syntax. It has been influential in the development of generative grammar and has been cited by many other scholars.
