초록
This squib briefly reviews the motivations for movement proposed in Chomsky (2005) and Bošković (2007b). Chomsky's EF-based account has merits of explaining the no feeding relation between feature checking movements, and dispensing with various uninterpretable features involved in A'-movement. Given the empirical evidence that wh-movement passes through intermediate [Spec,CP] for a reason independent of the properties of the intermediate C, however, Bošković's account seems to be better motivated, in that it attributes the motivation for movement to the uninterpretable features of the element undergoing movement. Considering that Chomsky's Activation Condition corresponds to uninterpretable features in Bošković's (2007b) analysis in motivating movement, we propose the following: (i) a wh-phrase bears both uCase and uOp; (ii) movement is motivated by uninterpretable features of the element undergoing movement; (iii) movement proceeds in parallel in the sense of Chomsky (2005). Under these assumptions, we can successfully explain the given data without the troublesome properties of lookahead and overgeneration.
Abstract
This squib briefly reviews the motivations for movement proposed in Chomsky (2005) and Bošković (2007b). Chomsky's EF-based account has merits of explaining the no feeding relation between feature checking movements, and dispensing with various uninterpretable features involved in A'-movement. Given the empirical evidence that wh-movement passes through intermediate [Spec,CP] for a reason independent of the properties of the intermediate C, however, Bošković's account seems to be better motivated, in that it attributes the motivation for movement to the uninterpretable features of the element undergoing movement. Considering that Chomsky's Activation Condition corresponds to uninterpretable features in Bošković's (2007b) analysis in motivating movement, we propose the following: (i) a wh-phrase bears both uCase and uOp; (ii) movement is motivated by uninterpretable features of the element undergoing movement; (iii) movement proceeds in parallel in the sense of Chomsky (2005). Under these assumptions, we can successfully explain the given data without the troublesome properties of lookahead and overgeneration.
