Abstract
[Resumo] Anoción de opcionalidade tense aplicado tradicionalmente en Gramática Xerativa cando un
mesmo conxunto léxico inicial pode orixinar libremente derivacións alternativas, obtendo
cada unha delas unha diferente representación gramatical, independentemente do número
de pasos precisados para chegar a cada representación. Dende o comezo da Gramática
Xerativa formuláronse análises opcionais de moitas construcións alternativas. Non obstante,
esta óptica cambiou drasticamente co Programa Minimalista. No presente artigo, indagarase
nas razóns do tratamento tan restritivo da opcionalidade que fai este modelo.
[Abstract] Within Generative Grammar, the notion of optionality traditionally applies when the same initial lexical array can freely develop along alternative derivations, in such a way that different grammatical representations are obtained, no matter how many steps are needed to reach each representation. From the very beginning of Generative Grammar, optional accounts of many alternative constructions were crucially involved in the grammar. However, this view has been dramatically questioned by the Minimalist Program. In this paper, an account will be offered about the reasons and assumptions at work for the highly restrictive treatment of optionality within this framework.
