dc.description.abstract	This dissertation develops two main ideas: (i) the range of possible human languages may be partially limited by the possible combinations of functional features, and (ii) Universal Grammar (UG) contains linguistic features and operations whose application is not fully specified. Specifically, some underspecified components are allowed under a restrictive theory of grammar in Minimalism.
