Conflicting C‐command requirements
Cedric A. Boeckx · Studia Linguistica · 1999
The paper concentrates on the locality problem that arises in the context of raising verbs when the embedded subject moves over the experiencer. I review the major approaches put forth in the minimalist program, showing how each of them is inadequate. I propose a solution that crucially relies on the timing of operations. To the extent that it is successful, the present analysis provides evidence for the strictly derivational approach to syntactic relations.
