This textbook is a concise, readable introduction to current work in syntactic theory, particularly to Chomsky’s Minimalist program. It gives an overview of theoretical concepts and descriptive devices. The discussion is based on varieties of English (Modern Standard, Belfast, Shakespearean, Jamaican Creole) and does not assume prior knowledge of syntax. There are exercises and a glossary. It is an abridged version of Radford’s major new textbook Syntactic Theory and the Structure of English: A Minimalist Approach (CUP, 1997).

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 with a fresh look at some old data, and places current ideas in their historical context.

The Minimalist Program consists of four recent essays that attempt to situate linguistic theory in the broader cognitive sciences. In these essays the minimalist approach to linguistic theory is formulated and progressively developed. Building on the theory of principles and parameters and, in particular, on principles of economy of derivation and representation, the minimalist framework takes Universal Grammar as providing a unique computational system, with derivations driven by morphological properties, to which the syntactic variation of languages is also restricted. Within this theoretica

foreword by Massimo Piatelli-Palmarini This unusual book takes the form of a dialogue between a linguist and another scientist. The dialogue takes place over six days, with each day devoted to a particular topic--and the ensuing digressions. The role of the linguist is to present the fundamentals of the minimalist program of contemporary generative grammar. Although the linguist serves essentially as a voice for Noam Chomsky’s ideas, he is not intended to be a portrait of Chomsky himself. The other scientist functions as a kind of devil’s advocate, making the arguments th
