	Programming Tutorials - Books : The Minimalist Program (Current Studies in Linguistics)
		Minimalist Syntax : Exploring the Structure of English (Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics)
		Building on the theory of principles and parameters and, in particular, on principles of economy of derivation and representation, the minimalist framework takes Universal Grammar as providing a unique computational system, with derivations driven by morphological properties, to which the syntactic variation of languages is also restricted.
		The result is the 1995 Chomsky essays, in which relatively well known and primitive problems of English syntax are clothed in practically unreadable technical language, to lead to highly artificial pretentious solutions which are as counterintuitive as you please.

	Ash Asudeh: New Work
		The theoretical flaws in these textbooks are symptomatic of problems in the Minimalist Program at large and, in the bulk of this review article, we use the books to explore underlying problems with the programmatic Minimalist approach to PandP theory.
		Consideration of these issues reveals Minimalism to be, at heart, a kind of unification-based, lexicalist framework, but one which eschews formalisation or even just explicitness (contra Chomsky 1957) — with attendant deleterious consequences — and which refuses to give up the unnecessary mechanism of movement, even though it has arguably outgrown it.
		The syntax and semantics of control as structure sharing is compared to a recent anaphoric control analysis by Dalrymple (2001).

		Andrew Radford's latest textbook, Minimalist Syntax and the Syntax of English, provides a concise, clear, and accessible introduction to current work in syntactic theory, drawing on the key concepts of Chomsky's Minimalist Programme.
		Assuming little or no prior knowledge of syntactic theory, Radford takes students through a diverse range of topics in English syntax - such as categories and features, merger, null constituents, movement, case, and split projections - and shows how the 'computational component' works within the minimalist framework.

		Having studied this Core Syntax for almost a semester, I get confued with some of the ideas in the book, especially when going through those obscure examples and explanations.
		Part of the purpose of the course was to evaluate the suitability of this book as a text (and minimalism as content material) for linguistics majors taking a 200 level syntax class in the future.

	LINGUIST List 9.937: Syntax
		Optimality and Competition in Syntax edited by Pilar Barbosa, Danny Fox, Paul Hagstrom, Martha McGinnis, and David Pesetsky Recent developments in linguistic theory have led to a reconsideration of the role of optimality in the overall architecture of the grammar.
		Writing from a broad range of empirical and theoretical perspectives, the contributors to this volume examine the role of competition in syntax and in syntactic interfaces with semantics, phonology, and pragmatics, as well as implications for language acquisition and processing.

		The role of the linguist is to present the fundamentals of the minimalist program of contemporary generative grammar.
		An outstanding achievement on behalf of Uriagereka, this book is a must for anyone seriously interested in contemporary syntactic research within the Chomskyan paradigm, as well as for anyone interested in syntax in particular and linguistics in general as parts of natural science.
		Presented as a dialogue between the Linguist (L) and the Other (O), where the other is a natural scientist, the book goes through both the major philosophical aspects of the generative enterprise in linguistics, and the major tenets of Chomsky's (1995) "Minimalist Program" and its intricacies.

		Syntax provides a concise, readable introduction to contemporary work in syntactic theory, particularly to key concepts of Chomsky’s minimalist programme.
		The discussion is largely based on data from a range of varieties of English (not only Modern Standard, but also Belfast English, Shakespearean English, Jamaican Creole, etc.) and does not presuppose any prior knowledge of syntax.
		This is an abridged version of Radford’s major new textbook Syntactic Theory and the Structure of English: A Minimalist Approach (published simultaneously by Cambridge University Press), and will be welcomed as a short introduction to current syntactic theory.

		Synopsis Radford's new textbook is primarily for students with little or no background in syntax who need a lively and up-to-date introduction to contemporary work on transformational grammar.
		It covers four main topics: the goals of linguistic theory, syntactic structure, the nature and role of the lexicon, and the function and operations of transformations.

	Cogprints - Null Arguments in English Registers: A Minimalist Account
		The syntax of null arguments in the diary and instructional registers of English is investigated in a Minimalist framework.
		The first unified analysis of null arguments in the two registers is given.
		However, subject drop in colloquial speech is demonstrated to be an instance of the same phenomenon, suggesting that null arguments, and in particular null subjects, are a general possibility in English rather than a marked phenomenon.

		The primary objective of this course is to introduce Germanic Studies Department graduate students to the syntax of Modern German within the framework of recent, mainstream generative theory (Chomsky's minimalist program and the government-binding theory form which MP developed).
		In order to gain a basic familiarity with contemporary syntactic theory, in the first part of the course, we will work through Radford's (1997) textbook Syntax: A Minimalist Introduction, heavily supplementing it, however, from the perspective of German syntax.
		In the second part of the course, we will turn to more detailed analyses of German syntax.
