초록
In this paper, we will discuss that the MERGE-based system in Chomsky (2017) and Chomsky et. al. (2019) can explain various linguistic phenomena, following Goto & Ishii‘s (2019) analysis. Chomsky (2017) and Chomsky et. al. (2019) suggest that if the two identical copies in workspace (WS) are accessible to MERGE, then a Determinacy violation occurs when MERGE picks up one of the two identical copies from WS for further operations. However, we will point out that Chomsky’s (2017) proposal does not successfully explain the superiority effect, wh-island effect, and superraising effect. In an attempt to deal with the problem, we will propose that Determinacy Principle can be extended to the level of features as well as the level of categories. Given this, we will show that our proposal can successfully account for the superiority effect, wh-island effect, and superraising effect.
Abstract
In this paper, we will discuss that the MERGE-based system in Chomsky (2017) and Chomsky et. al. (2019) can explain various linguistic phenomena, following Goto & Ishii‘s (2019) analysis. Chomsky (2017) and Chomsky et. al.

However, we will point out that Chomsky’s (2017) proposal does not successfully explain the superiority effect, wh-island effect, and superraising effect. In an attempt to deal with the problem, we will propose that Determinacy Principle can be extended to the level of features as well as the level of categories. Given this, we will show that our proposal can successfully account for the superiority effect, wh-island effect, and superraising effect.
