Yuk, Jun-cheol. “Wh-Movement and Motivation of its Successive Cyclicity.” Studies on English Language and Literature. 33.3(2007): 219-235. Many arguments have been presented to explain that movement in a simple sentence takes place as a result of derivation of linguistic expression and in terms of Case Filter. However, few research have been found to explore the reason why wh-movement out of a finite clause takes place. So many researchers tried to examine the motivation of wh-movement through subjancency condition especially in Principle and Parameter Grammar, which was successful in accounting for the result of the successive cyclicity of wh-movement, but not the motivation of the successive cyclicity of wh-movement. This paper tried to explore successive cyclicity of wh-movement triggered by a property of movement itself based on Boškobić(2002, in press) who argues that the intermediate EPP is filled as a result of the requirement of successive cyclicity and undergoing feature checking has a freezing effect in that it prevents X from undergoing further movement, not by a property of intermediate heads based on Chomsky(1995) who claims that movement is triggered by feature checking between the attractor and the attracted, which means that the motivation for the intermediate steps in the embedded clause does not seem to be clear, and Chomsky(1999, 2000) who claims that the EPP is the requirement that some functional heads must have a specifier.
