Resumen

• This book brings together a collection of recent studies based on work presented at a workshop that focussed on the question of how syntactic variation can be accounted for under minimalist premises. Issues addressed include the theoretical significance, content, and role of parameters within minimalism; whether or not variation should be strongly or weakly accounted for by syntactic factors; and the explicitness (or lack of it) that should be assumed with respect to the conditions imposed by narrow syntax. The first part contains chapters that consider the term parameter to be a relevant theoretical notion under minimalist tenets. In the second part, on the other hand, chapters either argue that the term ‘parameter’ amounts to no more than a label to describe variation, or assign it a less prominent role. Instead, language variation is attributed to socio‐linguistic factors, language contact, frequency of use, or simply to options in the externalization of abstract syntactic relations.
