Multiattachment syntax, “Movement” effects, and Spell-Out
Steven L. Franks | Indiana University — Bloomington
This paper addresses a set of puzzles associated with Spell-Out. Of primary concern is the pronunciation and interpretation of hypothetical intermediate copies of moved constituents. I show that LF wh-movement never exhibits any intermediate effects and argue that intermediate effects are best accommodated by rejecting successive cyclic movement in favor of a “one fell swoop” feature-driven approach. I regard “movement” as feature-driven multiattachment, rather than re-merge of actual copies. This relation is unbounded in the syntax; wh-movement intermediate effects arise through the attempt to form a chain for Spell-Out purposes. Since these can only involve C (there being no intermediate SpecCPs), all such effects are head effects.
