Description - Understanding Minimalist Syntax by Cedric Boeckx

Understanding Minimalist Syntax introduces the logic of the
Minimalist Program by analyzing well-known descriptive
generalizations about long-distance dependencies.


An introduction to the logic of the minimalist program -
arguably the most important branch of syntax

Proposes a new theory of how long-distance dependencies are
formed, with implications for theories of locality, and the
minimalist program as a whole

Introduces the logic of the minimalist program by analyzing
well-known descriptive generalizations about long-distance
dependencies, and asks why they should be true of natural
languages

Rich in empirical coverage, which will be welcomed by experts
in the field, yet accessible enough for students looking for an
introduction to the minimalist program.
