Description
This book is a collection of key readings on Minimalist Syntax, the most recent, and arguably most important, theoretical development within the Principles and Parameters approach to syntactic theory.
Brings together in one volume the key readings on Minimalist Syntax
Includes an introduction and overview of the Minimalist Program written by two prominent researchers
Excerpts crucial pieces from the beginning of Minimalism to the most recent work and provides invaluable coverage of the most important topics.
