| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this project, in order to elucidate the conceptual foundation of the minimalist program in generative grammar/biolinguistics, I have analyzed the concepts of idealization, causality and reality in the conceptual framework of the early theory of generative grammar/biolinguistics in terms of the analyses of these three concepts in the history and philosophy of science. It has turned out that a version of each notion has been incorporated into the conceptual framework of the early theory. In addition, I have considered theoretical implications of this result for the conceptual analysis of the continuity and discontinuity between American structural linguistics and generative grammar/ biolinguistics and for that of the theoretical development from the early theory to the minimalist program.

本研究では，３つの学術的に意義のある研究成果が得られた．第一に，生成文法／生物言語学の近代科学としての概念的特徴と方法論的特徴が理想化，因果性，実在という3つの概念の観点からより明確に理解できることを示したことである．第二に，アメリカ構造言語学の近代科学としての概念的性質及び生成文法／生物言語学との科学史・科学哲学的な関係を3つの概念の観点からより明確に特徴づけることができることを示したことである．第三に，これまで言語理論内部の理論的な概念の観点から説明されていた生成文法／生物言語学の理論的発展過程を3つの概念の観点から特徴づけることが可能であることを明確にしたことである．
