This volume presents a series of papers written by Epstein,
Kitahara and Seely, each of which explores fundamental linguistic
questions and analytical mechanisms proposed in recent minimalist
work, specifically concerning recent analyses by Noam Chomsky. The
collection includes eight papers by the collaborators (one with
Miki Obata), plus three additional papers, each individually
authored by Epstein, Kitahara and Seely, that cover a range of
related topics including: the minimalist commitment to explanation
via simplification; the Strong Minimalist Thesis; strict adherence
to simplest Merge, Merge (X, Y) = {X, Y}, subject to 3rd factor
constraints; and state-of-the-art concepts and consequences of
Chomsky's most recent proposals. For instance, the volume clarifies
and explores: the properties of Merge, feature inheritance and
Agree; the nature of phases, cyclicity and countercyclicity; the
properties of Transfer; the interpretation of features and their
values and the role formal features play in the form and function
of syntactic operations; and the specific properties of
derivations, partially ordered rule application, and the nature of
interface representations. At the cutting edge of scholarship in
generative syntax, this volume will be an essential resource for
syntax researchers seeking to better understand the minimalist
program.
