Description
The Minimalist Program, 20th Anniversary Edition by Noam Chomsky
This influential work situates linguistic theory within the broader cognitive sciences, formulating and developing the minimalist program. In this updated edition, Chomsky offers new insights into the nature of language and its relationship to human cognition.
Through four essays, Chomsky explores the principles and parameters that underlie linguistic theory, proposing a unique computational system based on Universal Grammar. This framework provides a foundation for understanding the structure and variation of languages, and has far-reaching implications for the field of linguistics.
