Understanding Minimalism is a state-of-the-art introduction to the
Minimalist Program - the current model of syntactic theory within
generative linguistics. Accessibly written, it presents the basic
principles and techniques of the minimalist program, looking
firstly at analyses within Government and Binding Theory (the
Minimalist Program's predecessor), and gradually introducing
minimalist alternatives. Minimalist models of grammar are presented
in a step-by-step fashion, and the ways in which they contrast with
GB analyses are clearly explained. Spanning a decade of minimalist
thinking, this textbook will enable students to develop a feel for
the sorts of questions and problems that minimalism invites, and to
master the techniques of minimalist analysis. Over 100 exercises
are provided, encouraging them to put these new skills into
practice. Understanding Minimalism will be an invaluable text for
intermediate and advanced students of syntactic theory, and will
set a solid foundation for further study and research within
Chomsky's minimalist framework.
