Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the formal characterization of language's displacement property within the Minimalist Program. It introduces the Principles and Parameters Approach, which simplifies transformational rules to the single operation called Move. The author details how Move, as a form of internal Merge, relies on two prerequisite operations: Search, which identifies a target for Merge, and Float, which positions this target at the top of the structure. Both operations are governed by the principle of minimal computation, ensuring efficiency in their application.
