福井的这些论文和文章第一次被收集在一本书中，形成了对句法理论最重要和最具影响力的贡献的轮廓。福井特别关注英语/类型语言和日语/类型语言之间的类型学差异，研究了连接和划分它们的抽象参数。语言的共性被认为是在跨语言的变化和类型（参数）的差异从普遍原则的观点进行了调查。这本书的主要重点是不变的原则和参数（变量）的性质和结构，以及它们如何相互作用，为英语和日语之间各种看似无关的差异提供原则性的解释。这两种语言之间的对比是一个理想的测试场，因为这两种语言在其语言结构的几乎每一个方面都有表面上的不同，从词序和wh-移动，到语法一致和格标记系统，等等。这些文章在探索和完善语言学理论的理论概念和基本原则方面，对原则和参数模型的发展做出了相当大的贡献，导致了最低纲领背后的一些基本见解。
Collected for the first time in a single volume, these essays and articles by Naoki Fukui form an outline of some of the most significant and formative contributions to syntactic theory. Focusing particularly on the typological differences between English/type language and Japanese/type languages, Fukui examines the abstract parameters that both link and divide them. Linguistic universals are considered in the light of cross-linguistic variation and typological (parametric) differences are investigated from the viewpoint of universal principles. The book's main focus is the nature and structure of invariant principles and parameters (variables) and how they interact to give principled accounts to a variety of seemingly unrelated differences between English and Japanese. The contrasts between these two types of language is an ideal testing ground, since the languages are superficially different in virtually every aspect of their linguistic structures from word order and wh-movement, to grammatical agreement and case-marking systems, among many others. These articles constitute a considerable contribution to the development of the principles-and-parameters model in its exploration and refinement of theoretical concepts and fundamental principles of linguistic theory, leading to some of the basic insights that lie behind the minimalist program.
