内容説明
Understanding Minimalist Syntax introduces the logic of the Minimalist Program by analyzing well-known descriptive generalizations about long-distance dependencies.
An introduction to the logic of the minimalist program - arguably the most important branch of syntax
Proposes a new theory of how long-distance dependencies are formed, with implications for theories of locality, and the minimalist program as a whole
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
Rich in empirical coverage, which will be welcomed by experts in the field, yet accessible enough for students looking for an introduction to the minimalist program.
