LF WH-Islands and the Minimal Scope Principle

The present paper argues that Nishigauchi's (1990) argument for an LF Subjacency Condition is incorrect. It is argued that the relevant facts should be accounted for in terms of a condition on LF representations, which I call the Minimal Scope Principle. My argument crucially depends on the assumption, advanced by Saito (1992), that scrambling can be undone at LF. The large-scale pied-piping hypothesis advanced by Nishigauchi (1990) is also examined and shown to be correct in the light of the Minimal Scope Principle and Takahashi's (1993) economy condition.
