Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book, a collection of treatments of syntactic phenomena by leading proponents of Minimalism, is an extremely valuable application of Minimalist theory to a wide range of empirical data. It will be of great value to graduate syntax courses that introduce Minimalism, and the empirical coverage will make it highly accessible to students. I look forward to using this book in my own graduate courses." Mark Baltin, New York University

“This volume contains excellent surveys not only of several grammatical topics currently under intense scrutiny, but also of several decades of relevant research that has led to these well-defended current formulations. Three articles on logical form, the binding theory, and the varying fortunes – perhaps demise – of the control module trace how some perplexing Minimalist issues have developed out of earlier results. Two further articles on historical change and phrase structure outline and defend emerging approaches to, respectively, comparative (Germanic) syntax and the possibility of syntax without trees. The book is ideal for a seminar on Minimalism and its antecedents.” Joseph Emonds, Kobe-Shoin University (Japan)

Book Description

Minimalist Syntax is a collection of essays that analyze major syntactic processes in a variety of languages, all unified by their perspective from within the Minimalist Program. The chapters, written by leading researchers in the field, provide broad overviews of central syntactic processes and present original findings that illustrate how Minimalist syntax analysis can be successfully carried out. Topics discussed include raising, control, agreement, head movement, quantification, VP ellipsis, extraposition, and constituency. The empirical consequences of the assumptions and theories used are stressed throughout the book and innovative analyses of these phenomena are proposed. Rich in scope and detail, Minimalist Syntax is a valuable resource for students and scholars as an entry to the most current concerns and debates in syntactic theory.
