Review
"Howard Lasnik has a knack for taking very abstruse ideas and teasing delightful empirical consequences from them. In this collection of essays he applies this talent to current Minimalist theory. In the process he explicates and refines core technical notions of the Minimalist enterprise and lays bare its larger logic. For those intrigued by Minimalism but who aren’t quite sure how to "do it" I can think of no better advice than the following: read these essays and imitate shamelessly!" – Norbert R. Hornstein, University of Maryland
"Minimalist Analysis highlights and sharpens the empirical focus of work on Chomsky’s Minimalist program. Lasnik’s investigations of a broad range of syntactic phenomena elucidate the central concepts and analyses of Minimalism and motivate some significant modifications. These clear and insightful case studies illuminate the complex interactions between theory and data. This is an outstanding collection and an important resource for linguistic theory." –Robert Freidin, Princeton University
Book Description
This volume presents an introduction to the basic ideas & concepts of minimalism, arguably the most important recent development in syntax. It succeeds in bringing together theoretical discussion of the concepts & techniques of the minimalist approach to syntax, & detailed empirical studies, some on phenomena that have not been investigated in recent syntactic frameworks. Minimalist Analysis clearly expounds important new ideas & their motivation, presents interesting new data with a fresh look at some old data, & places current ideas in their historical context.
