  1. Mike Putnam, Properties of p-movement

Message 1: Properties of p-movement

 Date: Wed, 21 Apr 2004 16:17:57 -0400 (EDT)
From: Mike Putnam <mputnamku.edu>
Subject: Properties of p-movement

A 'hot topic' in recent literature is whether or not
p(rosodic)-movement occurs within syntactic derivation or is the
result of movement at the PF-interface. What would clarify things in
regards to this argument is the existence of properties that define
p-movement. For example, the traditional dichotomy of A-
vs. A'-movement properties. As to date, I know of no comprehensive
list of such characteristics for p-movement. (I have read that
p-movement would not effect Binding or Superiority, but that's about
it.)

Does anyone know of any research that has been conducted that might
help me out?
