| Abstract: | In this paper I argue that an OT-approach to grammar is actually essential to minimalist investigations, because it dramatically widens the set of linguistic properties potentially reducible to interface conditions while at the same time dispensing with interface-external language specific provisos. The discussion will hopefully also dispel some common misconceptions about OT. |
