A’-Chain Dependencies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2024
This chapter discusses A’-chain binding effects, in particular pronominalization, resumption and long-distance anaphora. If the EMH/FPG is correct, these dependencies must be mediated by I-merge. A-chains are not expansive enough to cover such cases, so the chapter proposes that these dependencies live on A’-chains, or, more accurately, improper chains involving at least one A’-link. The virtues of the proposal are discussed. So too is the necessity of some such approach if we adopt a movement theory of reflexivization.
