Movement An Animated and Narrated Glossary of Terms used in Linguistics presents

Slide 2 Capturing Relationships Consider these utterances: 1. Mary believed the boy pinched the elephant. 2. Who did Mary believe pinch the elephant? 3. What did Mary believe the boy pinched? 4. What did Mary believe? A speaker of English would have the intuition that these are variants of the same sentence. the boy Who the boy the elephant What the boy pinched the elephant What

Slide 3 Puzzle How is it that we would have such intuitions? Answer: There’s an underlying structure (= d-structure in Government and Binding frameworks) from which the variant surface forms are produced.

Slide 4 Basic Form Let’s assume (1) to be the basic form. The constituency of (1), determined by a number of diagnostics, is given here.

Slide 5 Relation by Movement Who Movement here is a metaphor for relating “who” and “the boy”, and how (2) could be derived from a more basic underlying structure that is perhaps similar to (1). the boy

Slide 6 Relation by Movement the elephant What Movement again is a metaphor for relating “what” and “the elephant”, and how (3) could be derived from a more basic underlying structure that is perhaps similar to (1).

Slide 7 Relation by Movement the boy pinched the elephant What

Slide 8 More puzzles Consider now 1.Mary believed the boy pinched the elephant. 3.What did Mary believe the boy pinched? 5.Mary believed that the boy pinched the elephant. 6.*What did Mary believe that the boy pinched? If our movement story is correct, why is (6) ungrammatical? Why couldn’t “the elephant” move from (5) to form (6)?

Slide 9 Basic Form-revisited Given (5), suppose the basic form is revised to be: that

Slide 10 Subjacency Suppose we make the requirement that movement must be made in steps, moving out of one S at a time, then: the elephant

Slide 11 Subjacency An account for (1)-(4) would rely on the absence of that in the embedded S’. the elephant What Subjacency is explained in this glossary as a different entry.

Slide Mary believed the boy pinched the elephant. 2. Who did Mary believe pinch the elephant? 3. What did Mary believe the boy pinched? 4. What did Mary believe? 5.Mary believed that the boy pinched the elephant. 6.*What did Mary believe that the boy pinched? Items (1-6) illustrate the usefulness of movement in capturing the relationship between various syntactic constructions and the conditions for their grammaticality.

Slide 13 Movement Movement is a metaphor used in syntax to express correlation between two or more syntactic positions. It allows for an account of how various kinds of constructions (e.g. passive, wh- questions, raising, topicalization, etc) may be related to one another through a basic structure from which movement originates.
