<div>Dear All</div>

<div>I agree with Wolfgang that terms move on. There are a couple of
relevant footnotes in Joan Bresnan's Lexical Functional Syntax (p.
177) where she points out that 'pronoun incorporation' and 'pro-drop'
were originally used to indicate operations on phrase structure.
People working with constraint-based models continue to use the
terms, without any implication of movement or deletion.</div>

<div>Some of the issues from the recent list discussion were also
discussed at a workshop on agreement (2002); in case colleagues
haven't seen it, the papers were published as a special number of
the<i> Transactions of the Philological Society</i>, volume 101, no.
2, 2003, with papers by Bernard Comrie, Nick Evans, Marianne Mithun,
Maira Polinsky, Anna Siewierska and myself, edited by Brown, Corbett
and Tiberius.</div>
