From a theoretical standpoint, and in the context of generative grammar, the Minimalist Program is an outgrowth of the principles and parameters (P&P) model, considered to be the ultimate standard theoretical model that generative linguistics developed from the early 1980s through to the early 1990s.

He has authored, co-authored, and edited research articles and books including Prolific Domains: On the Anti-locality of Movement Dependencies, InterPhases: Phase-Theoretic Investigations of Linguistic Interfaces, The Cambridge Handbook of Biolinguistics, and the textbook Understanding Minimalism.
Merge (linguistics) Merge is one of the basic operations in the Minimalist Program, a leading approach to generative syntax, when two syntactic objects are combined to form a new syntactic unit (a set). Merge also has the property of recursion in that it may be applied to its own output: the objects combined by Merge are either lexical items or ...

Paul Horwich's minimal theory of truth, also known as minimalism, takes the primary truth-bearing entities to be propositions, rather than sentences. According to the minimalist view then, truth is indeed a property of propositions (or sentences, as the case may be) but it is so minimal and anomalous a property that it cannot be said to provide ...
Young-Scholten is most notable within linguistics and SLA for developing the Minimal Trees Hypothesis with Anna Vainikka, [4] an "important theory," [5] where 'tree' is a metaphor of syntax for the branching structure showing how words of a phrase or sentence co-relate. [6] The hypothesis concerns what aspects of a language learner 's first ...
Phonetic form. In the field of linguistics, specifically in syntax, phonetic form (PF), also known as phonological form or the articulatory-perceptual (A-P) system, is a certain level of mental representation of a linguistic expression, derived from surface structure, and related to Logical Form. Phonetic form is the level of representation ...
Donald Clarence Judd (June 3, 1928 – February 12, 1994) was an American artist associated with minimalism. [1][2] In his work, Judd sought autonomy and clarity for the constructed object and the space created by it, ultimately achieving a rigorously democratic presentation without compositional hierarchy. He is generally considered the ...
