The book offers a comprehensive introduction to the Minimalist Program in linguistic theory, emphasizing Noam Chomsky's naturalistic approach to language. It delves into the philosophical foundations and empirical significance of the Program, drawing parallels to methodologies in physics and biology. By clarifying current debates in minimalist research, it aims to enhance understanding of the human language faculty and its expression across different languages. A glossary of key concepts, complete with examples, enriches the reader's grasp of the material.
