Titre: syntactic sharing and semantic interpretation
(Work in progress)

Résumé:
In recent minimalist literature, transformations (Move) have been re-conceptualized as iterative 
applications of the basic syntactic operation Merge. We will begin by adapting Heim and Kratzer's (1998) 
semantic treatment of movement in light of this new state of affairs. We will then propose a 
generalization of the movement interpretation rule that can handle cases of multidominance other than  
the canonical movement configuration. Finally we will propose a modified and generalized Predicate 
Modification rule which will also depend on syntactic sharing.
These new rules will provide an original insight into a number  of well known syntactic and semantic 
puzzles such as extraposition, ECM and complex causative constructions.

Cordialement,
Emmanuel Chemla
