The Minimalist Program is a 1995 book on linguistics by Noam Chomsky. It is a collection of four technical papers published throughout the early 1990s. In chapters 3 and 4 of the book, Chomsky introduces the Minimalist program, revising and discarding many concepts that emerged under his previous Principles and Parameters framework, including D-structure, the Extended projection principle, government, and X-bar theory.
