Do We Really Need to Stipulate the CED : One More Reason for Adopting the Phase Impenetrability Condition and the Copy Theory of Movement, and Thus Excluding the Constraint on Extraction Domains from the Grammar

Description

In this article, we would like to point out that the grammar does not need the Condition on Extraction Domains(CED)proposed in Huang (1982)as a constraint. Specifically, we will point out that the CED is only phenomenal and derivable from the Phase Impenetrability Condition (PIC)proposed in Chomsky(2000, 2001a, 2001b)under the assumption of the Copy Theory of Movement(CTM)rigidly observed. Such an analysis will not only contribute to our deeper understanding of the CED as epiphenomena but also enable the grammar to make far more articulate predictions about the extractability in extraction phenomena.
