Fredrik.doc Binding Condition C and Derivation by Phase 1 FREDRIK HEINAT 1 Introduction In earlier theories of generative grammar (e.g. Chomsky 1981), the checking of binding conditions has generally been assumed to take place at Surface-structure or at Logical Form, LF, after reconstruction (see Belletti and Rizzi 1988, among others for applying binding theory at Deep-structure).

Mats-word-ny.doc English translations as a clue to the structure of Swedish över.* MATS JOHANSSON 1 Introduction At first blush, prepositional meanings appear highly arbitrary and idiomatic. Moreover, as dictionary entries for reasonably common prepositions show, one and the same preposition can have a considerable range of senses.

Why phrases probe FREDRIK HEINAT (L UND UNIVERSITY ) Abstract This paper looks at the arguments for the stipulation that only heads are probes. Three areas where there traditionally have been made a difference between heads and phrases are examined. These areas are, phrase structure, movement, and selection. The strongest argument against probing phrases seems to be selection. Furthermore, Hallman
