Cartography and minimalism : complex structures, simple mechanisms

For the first year of his course, Luigi Rizzi will explore the relationship between cartography and Minimalism: the lecture will illustrate the fundamental ingredients of syntactic Combinatorics postulated by Minimalism, the striking results of cartographic projects, and the questions and new directions that these lines of research open up.
