초록
The generalization that only semantically complete constituents scramble follows from a deeper semantic restriction that requires arguments of a semantic function to c-command that function. The semantic restriction, when wedded to Miyagawa's (2001) minimalist analysis of scrambling in Japanese and Korean, is able to derive the generalization that predicates fail to scramble in Korean. On this score, Korean scrambling contrasts with scrambling in Turkish, which is movement to an A-bar position. Following the EPP-analysis of scrambling in Miyagawa (2001), I argue that there is a correlation between the lack of predicate scrambling and the lack of reconstruction in scrambled constituents. That is, predicates do not scramble to A-positions. This was held to explain the variation in scrambling in Korean and Turkish. Turkish scrambling is to an A-bar position. As a result it exhibits both reconstruction effects and predicate (sub)scrambling.
Abstract
The generalization that only semantically complete constituents scramble follows from a deeper semantic restriction that requires arguments of a semantic function to c-command that function.

On this score, Korean scrambling contrasts with scrambling in Turkish, which is movement to an A-bar position.
