Presents an introduction to the Minimalist Program for linguistic theory, the radical version of Noam Chomsky's naturalistic approach to language. This work examines its foundations, explains its underlying philosophy, exemplifies its methods, and considers the significance of its empirical results.
The Minimalist Program for linguistic theory is Noam Chomsky''s boldest and most radical version of his naturalistic approach to language. Cedric Boeckz examines its foundations, explains its underlying philosophy, exemplifies its methods, and considers the significance of its empirical results. He explores the roots and antecedents of the Program and shows how its methodologies parallel those of sciences such as physics and biology. He disentangles and clarifies current debates and issues around the nature of minimalist research in linguistics and shows how the aims and ambitions of the Minimalist Program lie at the centre of the enterprise to understand how the human language faculty operates in the mind and is manifested in the world''s languages.Professor Boeckx writes for advanced and graduate students of linguistics and for all those, in fields such as cognitive science and evolutionary biology, who want to know more about current developments in theoretical linguistics.
