초록
The cross-linguistic word order variation has received much attention and has been given many different explanations among various theoretical frameworks. Based on the Minimalist spirit of morphologically-driven syntax, this paper provides an account of the difference between VSO and SVO word order, which is derived by the interactions of different strong and weak N- and V- features of AGR and T. We have also shown that Economy prefers the checking of features in-situ since it will minimize the number of features affected by Move-F(eatures). (Sungkyunkwan University)
