"Howard Lasnik has a knack for taking very abstruse ideas and
teasing delightful empirical consequences from them. In this
collection of essays he applies this talent to current Minimalist
theory. In the process he explicates and refines core technical
notions of the Minimalist enterprise and lays bare its larger
logic. For those intrigued by Minimalism but who aren’t quite
sure how to "do it" I can think of no better advice than the
following: read these essays and imitate shamelessly!" –
Norbert R. Hornstein, University of Maryland
"Minimalist Analysis highlights and sharpens the empirical focus of work on Chomsky’s Minimalist program. Lasnik’s investigations of a broad range of syntactic phenomena elucidate the central concepts and analyses of Minimalism and motivate some significant modifications. These clear and insightful case studies illuminate the complex interactions between theory and data. This is an outstanding collection and an important resource for linguistic theory." –Robert Freidin, Princeton University
