| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study has revealed that the conceptual nature of mechanisms embodied in the linguistic theories from the early generative grammar to the Minimalist Program might be at least partly characterized as being different from that of mechanisms embodied in theories in other biological sciences, such as behavioral biology, with respect to the notion of causality. In addition, it is also made clear that for the better understanding of the conceptual foundations of the unification problem, it is necessary to clarify such notions as idealization, causality, and reality, which constitute the important part of the scientific method Galileo introduced in his science of motion.
