Abstract

This article addresses the syntax of unstructured parentheticals within the current minimalist framework, which revolves around Simplest MERGE as the computational desideratum. It posits that unstructured parentheticals, assumed to belong to the CP category, undergo not MERGE but FormSequence（FSQ）, a complex procedure consisting of FormSet （FST） and Sequencing in Narrow Syntax （NS）.Furthermore, alongside binary Simplest MERGE, Universal Grammar（ UG） incorporates FSQ（ = FST ＋Sequencing） as a computational tool. This tool accommodates n ≧ 3 SO inputs with categorially identical　conjuncts and a conjunctive operator& , potentially serving as a source of unique semantic interpretation（ e.g.,list reading）. This contribution enhances understanding of UG by demonstrating that FSQ facilitates the appropriate SEM representation sent from NS to discourse grammar.
