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.

A Course in Minimalist Syntax is a straightforward and detailed introduction to essential topics in the minimalist program, designed for students and scholars alike.

This volume presents an introduction to the basic ideas and concepts of minimalism. It brings together theoretical discussion of the concepts and techniques of the minimalist approach to syntax, and empirical studies, including some on phenomena.

This volume contains 11 papers by an international group of researchers which address a well-recognized and central issue concerning the most fundamental formal aspects of syntactic theory: the distinction between derivation and representation.

Unifies various areas of inquiry under one theoretical approach. Incorporates greater empirical range than other work in this research paradigm. Provides successful explanation of the Minimalist Program. Guides readers through several long--standing puzzles in syntactic theory.

This is the first and only book to provide an introduction to the fundamental theoretical issues of phrase structure in the Principles & Parameters approach to syntax. It provides both in depth analyses of basic phrase structure concepts and detailed examinations of different theoretical positions from within the Principles & Parameters tradition.
