  • The Merge Hypothesis

    A Theory of Aspects of Syntax

    by Norbert Hornstein ...
    The Merge Hypothesis is the central empirical theoretical contribution of the Minimalist Program (MP) to syntactic theory. This book offers an accessible overview of the MP, debunking common sixty years of Generative research, culminating in GB theory. He introduces The Fundamental Principle of Grammar, which advocates including labels as part of the Merge Operation and centring the notion of the ... Read more

  • Understanding Minimalism

    by Norbert Hornstein, Jairo Nunes, Kleanthes K. Grohmann ...
    Series series Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics
    Understanding Minimalism, first published in 2005, is an introduction to the Minimalist Program - the model of syntactic theory within generative linguistics. Accessibly written, it presents the basic principles and techniques of the minimalist program, looking firstly at analyses within Government and Binding Theory (the Minimalist Program's predecessor), and gradually introducing minimalist ...

  • Experimental Syntax and Island Effects

    Edited by Jon Sprouse, Norbert Hornstein ...
    This volume brings together cutting-edge experimental research from leaders in the fields of linguistics and psycholinguistics to explore the nature of a phenomenon that has long been central to syntactic theory - 'island effects'. The chapters in this volume draw upon recent methodological advances in experimental methods in syntax, also known as 'experimental syntax', to investigate the ... Read more

  • A Theory of Syntax

    Minimal Operations and Universal Grammar

    by Norbert Hornstein ...
    Human language seems to have arisen roughly within the last 50-100,000 years. In evolutionary terms, this is the mere blink of an eye. If this is correct, then much of what we consider distinctive to language must in fact involve operations available in pre-linguistic cognitive domains. In this book Norbert Hornstein, one of the most influential linguists working on syntax, discusses a topical set ... Read more

  • Control as Movement

    by Cedric Boeckx, Norbert Hornstein, Jairo Nunes ...
    Series Book 126 - Cambridge Studies in Linguistics
    The Movement Theory of Control (MTC) makes one major claim: that control relations in sentences like 'John wants to leave' are grammatically mediated by movement. This goes against the traditional view that such sentences involve not movement, but binding, and analogizes control to raising, albeit with one important distinction: whereas the target of movement in control structures is a theta ...

  • On the Logic and Learning of Language

    by Sean A. Fulop ...
    This book presents the author's research on automatic learning procedures for categorial grammars of natural languages. The research program spans a number of intertwined disciplines, including syntax, semantics, learnability theory, logic, and computer science. The theoretical framework employed is an extension of categorial grammar that has come to be called multimodal or type-logical grammar. ... Read more

  • A Minimalist View on the Syntax–Semantics Relationship

    Turning the Mind into a Snowflake

    by Jaroslaw Jakielaszek ...
    Series Book 8 - Studies in Philosophy of Language and Linguistics
    Current developments of the Minimalist Program in generative linguistics put the procedure of labeling syntactic objects at the center of the syntax–semantics transition. This book provides a discussion of consequences of such proposals for a proper analysis of different varieties of the operation Merge and their interpretive reflexes, as well as for the general theory of the syntax–semantics ...
