How seriously should we take Minimalist syntax? A comment on Lasnik

Lasnik’s review of the Minimalist program in syntax [1] offers cognitive scientists help in navigating some of the arcana of the current theoretical thinking in transformational generative grammar. One may observe, however, that this journey is more like a taxi ride gone bad than a free tour: it is the driver who decides on the itinerary, and questioning his choice may get you kicked out. Meanw...

Case marking vs. Case checking in Japanese generative grammar: An alternative proposal

Introduction* Marantz (1995) concludes the description of the Minimalist Program by saying, "Syntax reduces to a simple description of how constituents drawn from the lexicon can be combined and how movement is possible. The computational system, this simple system of composition, is constrained by a small set of economy principles, which Chomsky claims enforce the general requirement, 'do the ...

Morphological Agreement in Minimalist Grammars

Minimalist Grammars provide a useful tool for modeling natural language syntax by defining grammar fragments in a very precise way. As a formalization of the Minimalist Program, they can accommodate linguistic analyses from the field of generative syntax. However, they have no machinery for encoding agreement; while morphology can be simulated by multiplying lexical items, there is no systemati...

The Immune Syntax: the Evolution of the Language Virus

Studies on the evolution of language have finally come of age, as the very useful recent work by Hauser et al. (2002) aptly shows. By separating a broad, ancient aspect of the faculty of language from a narrower, very recently evolved one, this piece creates a clean research space without clouding anybody's picture. The present paper can be seen as a followup in the program towards understandin...
