For over sixty years, researchers from across the world have been
collaborating in a vast endeavour within what is known as “generative
linguistics”, to describe human languages. The founding question of this
research is related to the unlimited nature of linguistic possibilities. It
has led to the formulation of hypotheses on linguistic combinatorics, its
invariant core, and the mechanisms of variation across languages, and to the
production of a precise mapping of the structures under study. Although
complex, these structures can be reduced to the recursive application of
extremely simple mechanisms, which are studied in the Minimalist Programme.
This area of research also draws on the illuminating research on language
acquisition carried out in an interdisciplinary cognitive science framework.
