In these essays the minimalist approach to linguistic theory is formulated and progressively developed. Building on the theory of principles and parameters and  in particular  on principles of economy of derivation and representation  the minimalist framework takes Universal Grammar as providing a unique computational system  with derivations driven by morphological properties  to which the syntactic variation of languages is also restricted. Within this theoretical framework  linguistic expressions are generated by optimally efficient derivations that must satisfy the conditions that hold on interface levels  the only levels of linguistic representation. The interface levels provide instructions to two types of performance systems  articulatory-perceptual and conceptual-intentional. All syntactic conditions  then  express properties of these interface levels  reflecting the interpretive requirements of language and keeping to very restricted conceptual resources.
