The goal		To provide an extensive introduction to the theoretical and substantive considerations on the language faculty that led Chomsky to develop this major line of inquiry inside the generative grammar framework; to provide the students with the methodological considerations and technical mechanisms necessary to both understand and carry out a minimalist analysis of syntactic structures.
The outcome		Students will have a knowledge of the basics of one the Minimalist Programme, an understanding of why the theory is structured as it is, and how it fits into a broader picture of language and mind; an ability to analyse simple sentences within the theory, and to follow and construct syntactic arguments, and an appreciation of the links between data and theory in syntax and linguistics generally.
