This Handbook provides a complete assessment of the current
achievements and challenges of the Minimalist Program. Established
15 years ago by Noam Chomsky with the aim of making all statements
about language as simple and general as possible, linguistic
minimalism is now at the centre of efforts to understand how the
human language faculty operates in the mind and manifests itself in
languages. In this book leading researchers from all over the world
explore the origins of the program, the course of its sometimes
highly technical research, and its connections with other
disciplines, such as parallel developments in fields such as
developmental biology, cognitive science, computational science,
and philosophy of mind. The authors examine every aspect of the
enterprise, show how each part relates to the whole, and set out
current methodological and theoretical issues and proposals. The
various chapters in this book trace the development of minimalist
ideas in linguistics, highlight their significance and distinctive
character, and relate minimalist research and aims to those in
parallel fields. They focus on core aspects in syntax, including
feature, case, phrase structure, derivations, and representations,
and on interface issues within the grammar. They also take
minimalism outside the domain of grammar to consider its role in
closely related biolinguistic projects, including the evolution of
mind and language and the relation between language and thought.
The handbook is designed and written to meet the needs of students
and scholars in linguistics and cognitive science at graduate level
and above, as well as to provide a guide to the field for
researchers other disciplines.
