Principles and parameters is a framework within generative linguistics in which the syntax of a natural language is described in accordance with general principles (i.e. abstract rules or grammars) and specific parameters (i.e. markers, switches) that for particular languages are either turned on or off. For example, the position of heads in phrases is determined by a parameter. Whether a language is head-initial or head-final is regarded as a parameter which is either on or off for particular languages (i.e. English is head-initial, whereas Japanese is head-final). Principles and parameters was largely formulated by the linguists Noam Chomsky and Howard Lasnik. Many linguists have worked within this framework, and for a period of time it was considered the dominant form of mainstream generative linguistics.
Principles and parameters as a grammar framework is also known as government and binding theory. That is, the two terms principles and parameters and government and binding refer to the same school in the generative tradition of phrase structure grammars (as opposed to dependency grammars). However, Chomsky considers the term misleading.
The central idea of principles and parameters is that a person's syntactic knowledge can be modelled with two formal mechanisms:
A finite set of fundamental principles that are common to all languages; e.g., that a sentence must always have a subject, even if it is not overtly pronounced.
A finite set of parameters that determine syntactic variability amongst languages; e.g., a binary parameter that determines whether or not the subject of a sentence must be overtly pronounced (this example is sometimes referred to as the pro-drop parameter).
Within this framework, the goal of linguistics is to identify all of the principles and parameters that are universal to human language (called universal grammar). As such, any attempt to explain the syntax of a particular language using a principle or parameter is cross-examined with the evidence available in other languages.

Le programme minimaliste est la forme prise par la recherche scientifique en grammaire générative depuis le milieu des années 1990 et la publication par le linguiste américain Noam Chomsky de son livre The Minimalist Program. Ce programme de recherche est conduit par des linguistes, des psychologues et des neurolinguistes. Pour en comprendre la portée et élucider la raison d'être de son émergence, il faut retracer l'histoire et les inflexions de ce programme de recherche.

La pauvreté du stimulus est l'argument linguistique selon lequel le langage est inné à un certain degré vu que le langage que reçoit un enfant (le stimulus) ne suffit pas pour lui apprendre toutes les complexités de la grammaire de la langue. Cet argument relève d'une conception innéiste du langage par opposition à l'idée empiriste que l'on n'apprend le langage que par expérience. Cet argument se prête à la théorie de grammaire universelle qui propose des principes auxquels chaque langue se conforme.
