The volume is a collection of 12 papers which focus on empirical
and theoretical issues associated with syntactic phenomena falling
under the rubric of Relativized Minimality (Rizzi 1990) or, in more
recent terms, Minimal Link Condition (MLC, Chomsky 1995). The bulk
of the papers are based on the ideas presented at the Workshop
"Minimal Link Effects in Minimalist and Optimality Theoretic
Syntax" which took place at the University of Potsdam on March
21-22, 2002. All contributors are prominent specialists in the
topic of syntactic Minimality. The empirical phenomena brought to
bear on Minimality/MLC in the present volume include, but not
limited to: Superiority effects in multiple wh-questions, including
those with 'D-linked' wh-phrase(s) (Muller, Haida, Haider)
Stylistic Fronting in Germanic and Romance (Fisher, Poole)
Transitive sentences in Hindi-type ergative languages (Stepanov)
Word order 'freezing' effects in double-nominative constructions in
Korean (Lee) Double object constructions in Greek
(Anagnostoupoulou) Remnant constituent displacement in German and
Japanese (Hale and Legendre) Nine of the proposed accounts are
couched in the Minimalist framework (Chomsky 1995, 2000, 2001),
three in the framework of Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky
1993). Thematically, the contributions divide into three groups
addressing the following major questions: How can apparent
violations of syntactic Minimality/MLC be accounted for? (Haida,
Stepanov, Poole, Fisher, Anagnostopoulou) What is the status of
MLC? Is it a primitive or a theorem in the grammar? (Muller,
Fanselow, Lechner, Vogel, Lee, Haider) Can Minimality phenomena
shed decisive evidence in favor of a derivational (Minimalist type)
or a representational (Optimality theory like) framework? (Hale and
Legendre, Haider)
