Oh, dear the Chomsky: A Minimalist Program for Linguistic Theory,
the sanitized MIT Working Papers version (not the samizdat draft
we all came to know and love during the winter of '92.

Well, let's see...
	End of Projection Principle
	End of DS and SS (as we know it...)
	Many new notions, like Procrastination and Greed
	X-bar is now fundamental

I kid you not.

Whether these are new theses or feces is yet to be determined, but it
sure does make for interesting and often entertaining reading. We had
a study group going here at UC, but our exegesis remains unfinished. IN
any event, it is going to be influential, so everyone should study it
carefully if you want to be able to talk to people at WCCFL or NELS.

Seriously, I think this is a radical departure from GB and does make much
of the work of the last ten years moot, especially all the mental
acrobatics reconciling the facts of language with the now-discarded
projection principle. The addition of much computer-oriented jargon may`
be an attempt to sell the theory to the computational world. It is a 
major paper with many new and rediscovered ideas.

Those stil unconvinced of the radical nature of the paper consider this:
Raising to Object is back!
