The seed that would eventually grow to become this book was sown in the spring of 2000,
when I was assigned the topic for one of the two lectures that I was to give on the evening …

This important contribution to the Minimalist Program offers a comprehensive theory of
locality and new insights into phrase structure and syntactic cartography. It unifies central …

Across the languages of the world, we repeatedly find that the extraction of the subject of an

Deriving the distribution of PRO in a principled manner is a central task for the theory of
control. Traditionally, Case has been identified as the key to this problem: PRO was argued …

A comprehensive theory of selective opacity effects—configurations in which syntactic
domains are opaque to some processes but transparent to others—within a Minimalist …
