“Working Toward the Strong Interpretation of SMT”
We start our discussion by exploring the history, form, and function of the most fundamental operation of the narrow syntax, Merge. The question we'll focus on is this: What ‘should’ Merge do, what ‘should’ Merge not do; and, most importantly, why? With this question, our primary goal is to explore Chomsky's recent thinking on Merge, from a series of lectures and papers, and ultimately trace conclusions of the following two forthcoming papers: “Merge and SMT” by N. Chomsky, R. Berwick, S. Fong, M. A .C. Huybregts, H. Kitahara, A. McInnerney, T. D. Seely, Y. Sugimoto, in R. Freidin (ed) Elements, Cambridge, and “The Miracle Creed and SMT” by N. Chomsky, in M. Greco & D. Mocci (eds).
