Rezensionen
"The physicist Paul Dirac noted that the beauty of an equation isfar more important than its fit to the experimental evidence. TheMinimalist Program in linguistics, championed by Chomsky in themid-1990s, is an attempt to seek beauty in the theory oflinguistics. Minimalist Syntax synthesizes the current stateof play, showing both the elegance of the theory, and its farreaching implications for not only the study of language, but themind more generally. You may not agree with the perspectiveoutlined, and may not find the evidence compelling, but if youdon't take the proposal seriously, you will miss out on whatcould be one of the most radical and intellectually stimulatingtheories of the mind in the 21st century."
--Marc Hauser, Harvard College, author of Wild Minds (2000) andMoral Minds (2006).

"A fine collection of excerpts from many of the most importantand influential texts of the Minimalist Program. Organized bytopic, the editors have helpfully juxtaposed selections from theliterature to give the reader a feel for how debates progressed andhow ideas were shaped. This book provides the essential corereading list for any course on minimalist syntactic theory. It isalso a must-have all-in-one-place reference source forsyntacticians."
--Tim Stowell, UCLA

"An authoritative and comprehensive volume detailing how theMinimalist Program developed out of earlier work, and making cleveruse of extracts from key works by the world's leadingscholars. A unique teaching and research resource."
