Abstract

Abstract: Merge-based derivation in Chomskyan minimalism assumes human language as a computational system, giving a reasonable and concise explanation of the recursion and hierarchy of language. There exist such different structure-building modes as External Merge, Internal Merge, Late Merge and Parallel Merge. External Merge represents the generally selectional relation between lexical items and Internal Merge proceeds under agree between probe and goal. Internal Merge is essentially copy plus remerge and explains the dislocation phenomenon of language. Late Merge and Parallel Merge, both involving operation work zone and parallel operations, explain how the time and order of different merges define the generated structure. There is no conceptual need to postulate both Set-Merge and Pair-Merge since a label is needed in order for the structure of either modes of merge to be properly interpreted at the interfaces. As to the relation between merge and label, a choice has to be made between (i) to explore how merge, without resorting to label, directly generates endocentric and recursive structures and (ii) to replace merge derivation by label syntax, explaining how label distinguishes human language from other communicational systems.

Key words: minimalism, merge, language computational system, label
