Derivations in Minimalism

Herausgeber: Anderson, S. R.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This pathbreaking study presents a new perspective on the role of derivation, the series of operations by which sentences are formed. Working within the Minimalist Program and focusing on English, the authors develop an original theory of generative syntax, which provides a pioneering challenge to fundamental assumptions in syntactic theory.
