A Minimalist Theory of Construal\u003c\/i\u003e provides an accessible, in-depth, and empirically oriented look at Chomsky's Minimalist Program.  \u003cp\u003eThis volume facilitates understanding of the concepts of the Minimalist Program framework and presents a theory which eliminates construal processes from Universal Grammar. In its place, this book generalizes movement to promote a rather homogeneous-looking Universal Grammar, bereft of many of the modules characteristic of GB-inspired proposals for the structure of Universal Grammar.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMove!\u003c\/i\u003e articulates a far greater empirical range than any other single work in the Minimalist Program. It successfully explains the concepts of the framework, unifies many phenomena in new ways, and enables readers to understand several long-standing puzzles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989656649957,"sku":"NP9780631223610","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631223610.jpg?v=1761784984","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/move-a-minimalist-theory-of-construal-isbn-9780631223610","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
