The articles collected in this book are concerned with the issues
of restrictiveness and learnability within generative grammar,
specifically, within Chomsky's 'Extended Standard Theory'. These
issues have been central to syntactic research for decades and they
are even more central now as results on syntactic theory, on
learnability, and on acquisition begin to converge. I hope that
this book can provide researchers in all of these areas with some
insight into the evolution of ideas about these issues. The
articles appear in their original form, with the following
exceptions: A few typographical and other minor errors have been
corrected; bibliog raphic references have been updated and a
unified bibliography provided. I would like to take this
opportunity to acknowledge my vast intellec tual debt to Noam
Chomsky. My research would not have been possible without his work,
his advice, and his guidance. Next, I offer deep thanks to Chomsky
and my other co-authors represented here: Bob Fiengo, Joe Kupin,
Bob Freidin, and Mamoru Saito. I am grateful, indeed, for the
opportunity to collaborate with such outstanding linguists, and,
more immediately, for their permission to reprint their co-authored
articles. I also offer general thanks to the holders of the
copyrights of the reprinted material. Specific acknowledgements
appear on a separate page."

The articles collected in this book are concerned with the
treatment of anaphora within generative grammar, specifically,
within Chomsky's 'Ex tended Standard Theory' (EST). Since the
inception of this theory, and virtually since the inception of
generative grammar, anaphora has been a central topic of
investigation. In current research, it has, perhaps, become even
more central, as a major focus of study in such areas as syntax,
semantics, discourse analysis, and language acquisition. Beginning
in the early 1970's, and continuing to the present, Chomsky has
developed a comprehensive syntactic theory of anaphora. The
articles here are all related to stages in the development of that
theory, and can best be understood in relation to that development.
For that reason, Chapter 1 presents a historical survey of
Chomsky's EST proposals on anaphora, along with brief indications
of how the present articles fit into that history. Some of the
articles here (e.g. Chapters 4, 8, and 9) proposed extensions of
Chomsky's basic ideas to a wider range of phenomena."

"A Course in Minimalist Syntax" is a straightforward and detailed
introduction to essential topics in the minimalist program,
designed for students and scholars alike.
maintains an informal tone for students yet also contains enough
fresh material to appeal to specialists
provides a natural extension of the classroom approach to
linguistics, showing readers a new way of approaching syntax by
thinking in minimalist terms
written by two prominent syntax researchers, the authors of the
classic "A Course in GB Syntax," Howard Lasnik and Juan Uriagereka
This volume presents an introduction to the basic ideas and
concepts of minimalism, arguably the most important recent
development in syntax.It succeeds in bringing together theoretical
discussion of the concepts and techniques of the minimalist
approach to syntax, and detailed empirical studies, some on
phenomena that have not been investigated in recent syntactic
frameworks.Minimalist Analysis clearly expounds important new ideas
and their motivation, presents interesting new data with a fresh
look at some old data, and places current ideas in their historical
context.
