Abstract:

The lectures consider the progression of ‘Merge to Move’—beginning with
Principles of Locality which operate over an array of Binding constraints,
then to combine Members (a, b) (an external merge) which establishes an
unordered Set {a, b}, then to Local Move operations (internal merge) which
establishes an ordered Pair <a, <a, b>>. From these sequences of external to
internal merge-operations, an array of syntactic phenomena come into view,
each of which enters some form of an explanatory equation, as argued for by
Minimalist pursuits. As a broad sweeping ‘pedagogical device’, we peer into
myriad aspects behind Lasnik’s ‘Anti-locality’ Condition. What does ‘locality’
exactly mean here (c-command)? How is it that adjacency is banned from
recursive syntax (X-bar)? The condition stipulates that if an item gets
displaced (internal merge), it cannot move into its existing phrase, but
rather must expand a higher/functional phrase. How does this condition affect
movement (e.g., wh-movement, head-to-head movement) regarding ‘Merge over
Move’, as well as notions of transfer/spell-out involving phrasal projection?
Other topics include Merge over Move, Phase-base theory, Light verb
constructs, VP-shells, Principles of economy of movement, and Reasons for
movement. The lectures contained within this coursebook are designed as a
graduate-student guide to general issues surrounding the Minimalist Program
(Chomsky 1995).
