Description
This book offers a critical examination of the Minimalist Program, Noam Chomsky’s influential approach to the study of language and the human faculty of grammar. It traces the development of minimalist ideas within generative linguistics, explains their central concepts, and evaluates the theoretical and empirical claims that have shaped modern syntactic research. Written with analytical rigor and intellectual independence, it explores the relationship between linguistic structure, cognition, and explanation while questioning whether minimalism provides a coherent and sufficient account of language.
