10. Two types of remnant movement

This article is concerned with stating and accounting for differences between two types of remnant movement that have been proposed in the literature. Remnant movement is movement of an XP β from which extraction of α has taken place earlier in the derivation; cf. (1). This phenomenon has been argued to support a derivational approach to syntax (cf. Chomsky (1998)): Since remnant movement creates an unbound α trace that is separated from its antecedent by an XP in nonselected position (i.e., a barrier), the wellformedness of the resulting structure is unexpected under representational approaches that require proper binding of traces and check locality constraints at S-structure; but nothing is wrong with (1) under a derivational approach in which proper binding is replaced by strict cyclicity and locality is checked directly after each movement operation.
