Abstract:

The present work provides a detailed analysis of chain formation and
locality conditions imposed on it within the Minimalist Program. It
does so by analyzing resumptive strategies in great detail. This study
claims that resumptive pronouns and their antecedents are first merged
as constituents, and are separated via movement (thus forming
instances of discontinuous constituents). Resumptive chains are thus
akin to the well-known stranding analysis of quantifier float. A
taxonomy of islands is developed that crucially ties barriers for
movement to agreement possibilities. The stranding of a resumptive
pronoun is shown to limit the role of agreement for the moving
element, thereby allowing a chain to be formed across an island.
