Description
This book locates the Minimalist Program (MP) in the larger Generative enterprise. It shows how MP follows from this larger Chomskyan program and extends it by adopting a principle, the Fundamental Principle of Grammar, that requires all grammatical dependencies be Merge Mediated. It should amuse anyone interested in contemporary syntactic theory.
