Abstract

Focusing on the relation between functional categories and lexical and phrasal categories in Arabic dialects, Benmamoun proposes that universally functional categories are specified for categorial features which determine their relation with lexical categories.

Abstract

Arguments minimalistes est une présentation systématique et détaillée du Programme Minimaliste défini par Noam Chomsky il y a une vingtaine d’années et qui n’a cessé d’évoluer depuis. Le livre dresse un état des lieux de la théorie générative d’aujourd’hui, en prenant pour point de départ les textes de Chomsky lui-même. Le minimalisme inaugure une nouvelle façon de penser syntaxiquement et il vaut la peine d’examiner en détail les arguments que Chomsky invoque à l’appui de ce nouveau programme, qui met l’accent sur un ensemble de facteurs relativement ignorés dans les modèles précédents, mais qui doivent être, selon Chomsky, pris en compte prioritairement quand on cherche à construire une théorie du langage pleinement adéquate, allant au delà de l’adéquation explicative. Le fait que le langage soit en relation d’interface avec d’autres systèmes cognitifs auxquels il doit livrer des représentations lisibles, la nécessité de représenter la dualité de la sémantique, celle de linéariser les objets structuralement complexes produits par le mécanisme computationnel sont autant de dimensions qui contribuent nécessairement à façonner la Faculté de Langage et doivent intervenir dans la construction des grammaires. Cette synthèse, qui vise aussi à familiariser le lecteur avec les techniques d’analyse minimaliste, s’adresse aux étudiants avancés et aux linguistes confirmés, intéressés par la syntaxe et par les modèles formels en linguistique. Arguments minimalistes (Minimalist Arguments) is a state-of-the-art detailed and systematic introduction to the Minimalist Program, which was proposed by Chomsky twenty years ago and has been evolving ever since. The book reviews the current state of generative theory by taking Chomsky’s texts as a starting point. Minimalism introduces a new way of thinking syntactically and it is worth examining in detail the arguments that Chomsky puts forth in support of this new program, which places the emphasis on a set of factors that were…

Abstract

The articles in this volume are inspired by the Minimalist Program first outlined in Chomsky's MIT Fall term class lectures of 1991 and in his seminal paper "A Minimalist Program for Linguistic Theory". The articles seek to develop further some key idea in the Minimalist Program, sometimes in ways deviating from the course taken by Chomsky.The articles are preceded by a 40 page introduction into the minimalist framework. The introduction pays special attention to the question how the minimalist framework developed out of the Principles and Parameters (Government and Binding) framework. T

Abstract

Human language is a phenomenon of immense richness: It provides finely nuanced means of expression that underlie the formation of culture and society; it is subject to subtle, unexpected constraints like syntactic islands and cross-over phenomena; different mutually-unintelligeable individual languages are numerous; and the descriptions of individual languages occupy thousands of pages. Recent work in linguistics, however, has tried to argue that despite all appearances to the contrary, the human biological capacity for language may be reducible to a small inventory of core cognitive competencies. The most radical version of this view has emerged from the Minimalist Program: The claim that language consists of only the ability to generate recursive structures by a computational mechanism. On this view, all other properties of language must result from the interaction at the interfaces of that mechanism and other mental systems not exclusively devoted to language. Since language could then be described as the simplest recursive system satisfying the requirements of the interfaces, one can speak of the Minimalist Equation: Interfaces + Recursion = Language. The question whether all the richness of language can be reduced to that minimalist equation has already inspired several fruitful lines of research that led to important new results. While a full assessment of the minimalist equation will require evidence from many different areas of inquiry, this volume focuses especially on the perspective of syntax and semantics. Within the minimalist architecture, this places our concern with the core computational mechanism and the (LF-)interface where recursive structures are fed to interpretation. Specific questions that the papers address are: What kind of recursive structures can the core generator form? How can we determine what the simplest recursive system is? How can properties of language that used to be ascribed to the recursive generator be reduced to interface properties? What effects do syntactic operations have on semantic interpretation? To what extent do models of semantic interpretation support the LF-interface conditions postulated by minimalist syntax?

Abstract

Human language seems to have arisen roughly within the last 50-100,000 years. In evolutionary terms, this is the mere blink of an eye. If this is correct, then much of what we consider distinctive to language must in fact involve operations available in pre-linguistic cognitive domains. In this book Norbert Hornstein, one of the most influential linguists working on syntax, discusses a topical set of issues in syntactic theory, including a number of original proposals at the cutting edge of research in this area. He provides a theory of the basic grammatical operations and suggests that there is only one that is distinctive to language. If this theory is correct then this narrows the evolutionary gap between verbal and non-verbal primates, thus facilitating the rapid evolutionary emergence of our linguistic capacity.
