關於通盤移位的兩則札記

Two Notes on ATB Movement

本文討論與通盤移位的性質有關的兩個獨立的議題。首先探討異指的成 份是否可用通盤移位的方式從並列成份中移出，多重疑問詞前置的實證顯示 答案是否定的，我採用 Fox (2000) 並列結構限制可以簡化為「無作用對象的 量化」的分析，建議通盤移位的相關病句也可以用「無作用對象的量化」來 解釋。其次，本文還討論了通盤移位空缺受到的限制。我主張通盤移位發生 於句法上平行的位置 這個主張加上 Chomsky (2000, 2001) 提出的 vP 邊緣位 ， 置可為連續移位的移入點的假設，可以解釋通盤移位空缺相關的限制。

This paper discusses two independent issues on the nature of across-theboard (ATB) movement. First, I address a question of whether distinct elements, not identical elements, can be extracted out of the conjuncts in an ATB fashion. It is argued that the answer is negative, based on multiple wh-fronting. Furthermore, I suggested that the relevant illicit ATB movement is reducible to vacuous quantification, adopting Fox’s (2000) multidimensional approach to the Coordinate Structure Constraint (CSC) effects. Second, I discuss some restrictions on gaps created by ATB movement. I propose that ATB movement should take place from syntactically parallel positions. The proposal captures the relevant restrictions, combined with Chomsky’s (2000, 2001) hypothesis that the edge of vP is a landing site of successive cyclic movement.
