Understanding Minimalist Syntax

Generative Syntax

General Editor: David Lightfoot

Recent work in generative syntax has viewed the language faculty

as a system of principles and parameters, which permit children to

acquire productive grammars triggered by normal childhood ex-

periences. The books in this series serve as an introduction to par-

ticular aspects or modules of this theory. They presuppose some

minimal background in generative syntax, but meet the tutorial needs

of intermediate and advanced students. Written by leading ﬁgures

in the ﬁeld, the books also contain sufﬁcient fresh material to

appeal to the highest level.
