State of the Article

John Frederick Bailyn on Scrambling to reduce scrambling - Part 2
"Mechanically, the reconstruction property of (A') scrambling is not
a difficult problem given the Copy Theory of Movement (Chomsky
1995a). Under this account, an element is copied from base position to
one or more displaced positions and the phonology and semantic
components in effect choose which of the two copies to interpret. With
overt movement, PF interprets the higher position; with
reconstruction, LF interprets the lower copy. Thus it is not the
reconstruction property per se that requires explanation under
Minimalist assumptions. Rather, it is the existence of the
displacement itself that is at issue, raising two related questions of
theoretical significance, which I will call the 'feature (or
agreement) problem' and the 'optionality and motivation problem'. "

Column: Recent issues in linguistics

Elan Dresher on Crouching philosopher, hidden linguist "I have to
confess that I, too, from time to time have felt that there is
something wrong with the nature of scientific discussion in the
field. I feel this most acutely when I read an article on a topic I
have worked on that doesn't cite me. 'Something is wrong,' I think, as
I scan the reference list that has no names between Drachmann and
Dressler, 'with the nature of scientific discussion in the field.'"
