Yang, Dong-Whee. 2010. The Determinism Fallacy: Ambiguity of Interpretive Effects. Korean Journal of linguistics, 35-4, 969-988. This paper discusses the determinism fallacy of the probe-goal checking theory of movement (Chomsky 2000, 2001) with respect to ambiguity of interpretive effects and proposes an alternative theory of movement that overcomes the determinism fallacy, i.e., the non-deterministic theory of movement. This paper proposes and motivates a non-deterministic theory of movement based on the notion of edge feature (EF) (Chomsky 2008). It will be claimed that the theory of movement based on EF, i.e., the theory of unmarked vs. marked internal merge (IM), is free from the determinism fallacy of the deterministic probe-goal checking theory of movement. Unmarked IM is characterized as inducing a default semantic effect, called a "D-effect", which simply results from the optionality of the operation of unmarked IM itself (Fox 2000), whereas marked IM is characterized as inducing a marked semantic effect called a “Non-D-effect,” due to the lexical properties of the head inducing the marked IM and the phrase undergoing the marked IM---leading to a theory of non-determinism.
