Abstract

This chapter outlines a number of major issues concerning features in minimalist syntax. Our purpose is neither to survey the field nor to provide a particular theory of features in minimalism. It is rather to delineate what we take to be the core conceptual issues that the notion of feature raises within minimalist approaches to (transformational) grammar. We begin by pointing out the different perspectives taken on the notion of feature by minimalist and unification-based approaches. We then clarify ∗Adger gratefully acknowledges the support of a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship. †Svenonius has benefitted from conversations about this subject matter with colleagues at CASTL and the University of Tromso, in particular Gillian Ramchand, Michal Starke, and Trond Trosterud. Both authors would like to thank Grev Corbett and Trond Trosterud for comments on an earlier draft
