Abstract

In this paper I develop a derivational approach to linearization under a (version of the) level-free derivational approach to syntactic relations (Epstein et al, 1998; Epstein & Seely 2002, 2006). The approach I propose here differs from most approaches to linearization in that it does not rely on Kayne's (1994) Linear Correspondence Axiom (LCA), but rather on a more intrinsic property of the derivation, i.e., order of Merge operations. I will also illustrate some consequences of this approach for the linearization of chains, by taking Nunes's (1999, 2004) theory as a starting point.
