Abstract:

This book demonstrates that some properties of rightward movement phenomena (a
cover term referring to sentences in which an element appears to be
“displaced” to the right) may be derived from syntactic principles and
interface conditions within the framework of the generative grammar/minimalist
program. It also argues that certain properties, which up to now have been
dealt with purely in regards to syntax, can be better accounted for in terms
of language processing; accordingly, the human parser should undertake
explanations of part of the competence system’s output. 

The volume’s analysis of rightward movement phenomena leads to the conclusion
that phrasal rightward movement rules in syntax fail to follow specific
principles. At first glance, this conclusion seems identical with Kayne’s
(1994) claim that no rightward movement rules exist. However, this work
provides completely different grounds for the absence of rightward movement
rules, meaning that it presents an original view of rightward movement
phenomena.
