I'm interested in having a few references to (more of less) full grammars of natural languages that would be written under Minimalist approach. Are there any around?
I guess, accounts of some major specific phenomena would be good, too, as long as they encompass large chunks of grammar (like word order in Russian -- by Slioussar or by Dyakonova -- which cuts across much syntax).
The Syntax of French by P.Rowlett (see here) would be a canonical answer for French.
That said, I think it is worth pointing out that the project of writing a full grammar of a given language (identified presumably with the official language of some nation-state) or even of devising a complete account of some syntactic phenomenon peculiar to a certain language (say object agreement in French) is at least somewhat at cross-purpose with the minimalist entreprise in syntax, as the latter is interested in the syntactic phenomena that stem from the core human faculty of language and its interaction with interface properties and thus has almost by definition nothing to say about the former's apparent object of interest.
Much more congenial to the minimalist framework is the project of writing a complete account of a cross-linguistically attested syntactic phenomenon (binding of pronouns, wh-movement, agreement, raising, DP-licensing, voice alternations, noun incorporation etc.) or even better of the correlations between those in the terms outline above. Of that variety of work, you'll find no shortage; the one you are apparently interested in, not so much.
