Resumen

This paper provides an overview of what we take to be the key current issues in the field of Generative Grammar, the study of the human Faculty of Language. We discuss some of the insights this approach to language has produced, including substantial achievements in the understanding of basic properties of language and its interactions with interfacing systems. This progress in turn gives rise to new research questions, many of which could not even be coherently formulated until recently. We highlight some of the most pressing outstanding challenges, in the hope of inspiring future research.

For feedback and suggestions, we are indebted to Josef Bayer, Chris Collins, Erich Groat, Luigi Rizzi, and Juan Uriagereka. Parts of this paper are based on a Question & Answer session with Noam Chomsky that took place at the Residència d’Investigadors (Barcelona) on November 6, 2016. We would like to thank the students who helped with the transcription of that session: Alba Cerrudo, Elena Ciutescu, Natalia Jardón, Pablo Rico, and Laura Vela. Ángel J. Gallego acknowledges support from the Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (FFI2014-56968-C4-2-P and FFI2017-87140-C4-1-P), the Generalitat de Catalunya (2014SGR-1013 and 2017SGR-634), and the Institució Catalana de Recerca i Estudis Avançats (ICREA Acadèmia 2015). Dennis Ott acknowledges support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (430-2018-00305). We would like to dedicate this paper to the late Sam Epstein, whose work on syntactic theory has been a constant source of inspiration over the years.
