The Rough Guide to the Minimalist Program

One way to tour Chomsky's Categories and Transformations is to start at the top of page 219 and to travel on, undisturbed, until you reach the bottom of page 394. But more generally, visitors to Chapter Four will be accidental tourists, introduced while the structure is in mid-derivation, and unable recover the building blocks employed or to appreciate the vistas before them. This is partly due to the circumstance that the entire landscape is infested with wormholes hurling you from one page to another like a pinball in a multi-dimensional machine. These wormholes are conveniently marked by signs like "as we have seen" or "we will return to that", crucially placed right by the most stunning claims or the most enticing prospects. By special request of Glot International, the Rough Guide has prepared for you a directory to steer you safely through the layered structures. Please note that in making the relevant displacements, the Minimal Link Condition is rarely obeyed, although the Uniformity Condition, in general, is.
