Abstract

In this paper we analyze the Computational System as described in theMinimalist Program in a Multimodal Categorial Grammar (MMCG)framework. We can define the basic minimalist operations, such asfeature checking, merge and move using the internal logicaland structural reasoning facilities of the categorial system.However, we will show how the analysis of the minimalist moveoperation in a multimodal categorial setting results in adecomposition of Move into a logical and a structural part.On the logical side, the concept of hypothetical reasoning provides aprincipled account of move as an abstraction operation. Onthe structural side, structural postulates capture the phenomenon ofdisplacement.
