This twentieth-anniversary edition reissues this classic work wi th a new preface by the author. In four essays, Chomsky attempts to situate linguistic theory in the broade r cognitive sciences, with the essays formulating and progressively develop ing the minimalist approach to linguistic theory. Building on the theory of principles and parameters and, in particular, on principles of economy of derivation and representation, the minimalist framework takes Universal Gra mmar as providing a unique computational system, with derivations driven by morphological properties, to which the syntactic variation of languages is also restricted. Within this theoretical framework, linguistic expressions are generated by optimally efficient derivations that must satisfy the con ditions that hold on interface levels, the only levels of linguistic repres entation. The interface levels provide instructions to two types of perform ance systems, articulatory-perceptual and conceptual-intentional. All synta ctic conditions, then, express properties of these interface levels, reflec ting the interpretive requirements of language and keeping to very restrict ed conceptual resources.
