Pronoun Copying and the Realization ofCopies

That (2a) and (2b) might underlie some instances of resumption and clitic doubling has been suggested in previous work (e.g. Zaenen et al. 1981; Engdahl 1985; Pesetsky 1998; Kandybowicz 2007; Harizanov 2014; Sichel 2014). This paper offers a novel instance of (2c) in the Nilotic language Dinka, in which intermediate copies left by successive-cyclic movement at the vP edge are spelled out as pronouns:
