Asymmetric T-to-C MovementPF DeletionAcross-the-Board Movement

Abstract

I argue in this paper that across-the-board movement constructions are derived by applying deletion to a full sentential coordinate structure in PF. The relevant properties of the deletion operation in question can be summarized by its sensitivity to the periphery (or edge) and its insensitivity to constituency (i.e., it is based on linear order), which I take to indicate that it is a PF phenomenon. Based on this, I show that a previously unnoted phenomenon, which I call asymmetric T-to-C movement, is best explained by the PF deletion analysis of ATB constructions, while it is problematic for other approaches.
