Una de les principals propostes del Minimalist Program de Chomsky és la presa de decisions guiada per raons de necessitat conceptual. Aquest article defensa que alguns dels conceptes més importants de la seva arquitectura gramatical podrien ésser d'un altre mode, amb la qual cosa quedarien amenaçats els fonaments del projecte. Concretament, pel que fa a les raons que expliquen el retard de les operacions i l'origen dels trets de comprovació de cas, es proposen solucions molt diferents de les presentades per Chomsky i que semblen preferibles per raons tant conceptuals com empíriques.
One of the proposals which lies at the core of Chomsky's Minimalist Program is decision-making guided by reasons stemming from conceptual necessity. In this article I argue that some of the central concepts of its grammatical architecture could be perfectly well understood in a different light, thereby threatening the very foundations of the whole program. In fact, in the cases revised here (the reasons constraining the delay of operations and the origins of case-checking features), solutions which clearly depart from Chomsky's proposals seem to be preferrable for both theoretical and empirical reasons.
