The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 11(3), 45-64. The aim of the paper is to show that the definition of Move given in Chomsky (2000) cannot be maintained because there are cases where the phrase for "pied-piping" is not identified by an uninterpretable feature in a goal for Agree. It also gives rise to a "look-ahead" problem. Furthermore, his Activization hypothesis that only the expression with an uninterpretable feature is accessible to syntactic operations leads us to make an ad hoc assumption that expletive there merged to Spec-T is an X0 head. We do not need to keep the argument that simpler operations (Merge, Agree or their combination) are chosen over Move even though Move is analyzed as a more complex operation. The choice of an operation does not depend on economy considerations that employ the Merge over Move preference.
Abstract
The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal, 11(3), 45-64. The aim of the paper is to show that the definition of Move given in Chomsky (2000) cannot be maintained because there are cases where the phrase for "pied-piping" is not identified by an uninterpretable feature in a goal for Agree. It also gives rise to a "look-ahead" problem. Furthermore, his Activization hypothesis that only the expression with an uninterpretable feature is accessible to syntactic operations leads us to make an ad hoc assumption that expletive there merged to Spec-T is an X0 head. We do not need to keep the argument that simpler operations (Merge, Agree or their combination) are chosen over Move even though Move is analyzed as a more complex operation. The choice of an operation does not depend on economy considerations that employ the Merge over Move preference.
