with Marcela Depiante and Arthur Stepanov
This book provides an introduction to some classic ideas and
analyses of transformational generative grammar, viewed both on
their own terms and from a more modern, or minimalist perspective.
The major focus is on the set of analyses treating English verbal
morphology. The book shows how the analyses in Chomsky's classic
"Syntactic Structures" actually work, filling in underlying
assumptions and often unstated formal particulars. From there the
book moves to successive theoretical developments and revisions --
both in general and in particular as they pertain to inflectional
verbal morphology. After comparing Chomsky's economy-based account
with his later minimalist approach, the book concludes with a
hybrid theory of English verbal morphology that includes elements
of both "Syntactic Structures" and "A Minimalist Program for
Linguistic Theory."
