{"product_id":"minimality-effects-in-syntax","title":"Minimality Effects in Syntax","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe volume is a collection of 12 papers which focus on empirical and theoretical issues associated with syntactic phenomena falling under the rubric of Relativized Minimality (Rizzi 1990) or, in more recent terms, Minimal Link Condition (MLC, Chomsky 1995). The bulk of the papers are based on the ideas presented at the Workshop \"Minimal Link Effects in Minimalist and Optimality Theoretic Syntax\" which took place at the University of Potsdam on March 21-22, 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll contributors are prominent specialists in the topic of syntactic Minimality. The empirical phenomena brought to bear on Minimality\/MLC in the present volume include, but not limited to:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperiority effects in multiple wh-questions, including those with 'D-linked' wh-phrase(s) (Müller, Haida, Haider) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStylistic Fronting in Germanic and Romance (Fisher, Poole) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransitive sentences in Hindi-type ergative languages (Stepanov) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWord order 'freezing' effects in double-nominative constructions in Korean (Lee) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble object constructions in Greek (Anagnostoupoulou) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemnant constituent displacement in German and Japanese (Hale and Legendre)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eNine of the proposed accounts are couched in the Minimalist framework (Chomsky 1995, 2000, 2001), three in the framework of Optimality Theory (Prince and Smolensky 1993). Thematically, the contributions divide into three groups addressing the following major questions:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow can apparent violations of syntactic Minimality\/MLC be accounted for? (Haida, Stepanov, Poole, Fisher, Anagnostopoulou)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat is the status of MLC? Is it a primitive or a theorem in the grammar? (Müller, Fanselow, Lechner, Vogel, Lee, Haider)\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCan Minimality phenomena shed decisive evidence in favor of a derivational (Minimalist type) or a representational (Optimality theory like) framework?
