Move! A Minimalist Theory of Construal Summary
Move! A Minimalist Theory of Construal Reviews
The book you are about to read is radical. It has the immodest and ambitious goal of eliminating construal processes from Universal Grammar. Control, anaphora, and pronominalization are all treated as by-products of movement. This book delivers the goods. Joseph Aoun, University of Southern California
