Abstract:

What is the trigger for displacement phenomena in natural language syntax? And
how can constraints on syntactic movement be derived from interface conditions
and so-called Third Factor principles?

Within the Minimalist Program a standard answer to the first question is that
it is driven by morphosyntactic features. This monograph challenges that view
and suggests that the role of features in driving syntactic computation has
been overestimated. Instead it proposes that "labeling" -- the detection of a
prominent element in sets formed by Merge -- plays a role in driving
transformations, and labeling itself is understood to derive from an interplay
of efficient computation and the need for a label at the
Conceptual-Intentional systems. It explores this idea in four empirical
domains: Long-distance dependencies, Criterial Freezing-phenomena, nested
dependencies and ATB-movement. The languages considered include English,
German and Hebrew.
