The development of the Minimalist Program (MP), Noam Chomsky's most
recent generative model of linguistics, has been highly influential
over the last twenty years. It has had significant implications not
only for the conduct of linguistic analysis itself, but also for
our understanding of the status of linguistics as a science. The
reflections and analyses in this book contain insights into the
strengths and the weaknesses of the MP. Among these are, a
clarification of the content of the Strong Minimalist Thesis (SMT);
a synthesis of Chomsky's linguistic and interdisciplinary
discourses; and an analysis of the notion of optimal computation
from conceptual, empirical and philosophical perspectives. This
book will encourage graduate students and researchers in
linguistics to reflect on the foundations of their discipline, and
the interdisciplinary nature of the topics explored will appeal to
those studying biolinguistics, neurolinguistics, the philosophy of
language and other related disciplines.
