The Syntax of Nonfinite Complementation
An Economy Approach
Zeljko Boskovic

Economy considerations have always played an important role in the
generative theory of grammar. Indeed, the very development of the
theory has been characterized by natural considerations of simplicity
and economy.  In the Minimalist Program, the operations of the
computational system that produce linguistic expressions must satisfy
general considerations of simplicity referred to as Economy
Principles.

In The Syntax of Nonfinite Complementation: An Economy Approach, the
author completes two major research projects that solidify the
foundation of the Minimalist Program: the elimination of c-selection
and government. He then investigates in detail the nature of the
Economy Principles in syntax. The discussion, which focuses on
infinitival and participial complements, shows that a number of facts
that previously have either not been accounted for or have received
unsatisfactory treatment can be explained in a principled way once
Economy Principles and, more generally, the Minimalist Program are
adopted.
