Understanding Minimalist Syntax: Lessons from Locality in Long-distance Dependencies (Generative Syntax) Book

Understanding Minimalist Syntax introduces the logic of the Minimalist Program by analyzing well-known descriptive generalizations about long-distance dependencies, and asks why they should be true of natural languages. This text proposes a new theory of how long-distance dependencies are formed, with implications for theories of locality, and the Minimalist Program as a whole. Experts working in the field will appreciate the book's rich empirical coverage, and advanced undergraduate and graduate students will find it an accessible introduction to the Minimalist Program.Read More
