Abstract:

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.
