Description: This volume presents an introduction to the basic ideas and concepts of Minimalism, arguably the most important recent development in syntax. It succeeds in bringing together theoretical discussion of the concepts and techniques of the Minimalist approach to syntax, and detailed empirical studies, some on phenomena that have not been investigated in recent syntactic frameworks.

Minimalist Analysis clearly expounds important new ideas and their motivation, presents interesting new data along with a fresh look at some old data, and places current ideas in their historical context.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [194]-202) and index.
A collection of the author's previously published articles, 1991-1996, one written in collaboration with Mamoru Saito, with minor changes made and an introductory note added to each one.
