More about the book

Focusing on the Merge Hypothesis, this book provides an accessible overview of the Minimalist Program (MP) in syntactic theory, challenging decades of Generative research. It introduces the Fundamental Principle of Grammar, emphasizing the importance of labels in the Merge Operation and the role of constituents in syntactic structures. Early chapters outline the MP's goals, tracing their origins in the mentalist tradition of Generative Grammar and suggesting avenues for future development. This work is crucial for those studying modern syntactic theory.
