A Study of Economy Conditions in the Minimalist Program

假设操作/计算复杂性的考虑事项的语法作为一个认知系统，要求经济条件是本地的，这表明，到目前为止提出的经济条件可以分为三个子类型：本地，派生，和全球，我已经指出，问题是我们如何能够本地处理的现象占全球经济条件。只要我们假设经济条件只适用于收敛导数，就会出现类似前瞻的非局部性，其中Procrastinate就是一个典型的例子。力量特征，迫使明显的运动，是寻求保持局部性的手段之一。然而，这一特点本身就与极简主义纲领的基本精神相矛盾。最近试图消除力量特征和拖延的尝试仍然没有说服力，因为它需要几个不一定与基本的最低限度方法相协调的假设。请注意，其中一个假设是赋予EPP功能一个特殊的地位，剩下的一些紧迫问题将是关于多个拼出、同意/合并系统和阶段概念的问题。我认为，以下问题将被列为长期问题：强加于界面层面的易读性条件的确切属性是什么，以及我们应该如何考虑所处理的语言现象的范围受到极大限制的趋势。后者一直是一个棘手的方法论问题。

The assumption that considerations of operational/computational complexity matter for the grammar as a cognitive system requires that economy conditions be local, Suggesting that the economy conditions proposed so far can be classified into three subtypes : local, derivational, and global, I have pointed out that the problem is how we can deal locally with the phenomena accounted for by the global economy conditions. As far as we assume that economy conditions apply only to the convergent derivations, non-locality like look-ahead always emerges, which Procrastinate is a representative case of. The strength feature, which forces overt movement, was one of the means that seek to preserve locality. This feature itself, however, contradicts the fundamental spirit of the minimalist program. The recent attempt to eliminate both the strength feature and Procrastinate is still not convincing, because it needs several assumptions which do not necessarily harmonize with the basic minimalist approach. Notice that one of those assumptions is to give a special status to the EPP feature.Some of the remaining urgent problems will be those concerning multiple Spell-Out, the system of Agree/Merge, and the concept of phase. The following, I suggest, will be cited as long-range problems : what are the exact properties of the legibility conditions imposed on the interface levels, and how we should consider the trend in which the scope of the linguistic phenomena treated is extremely restricted. The latter has been a recalcitrant methodological problem.
