Description
In this paper, we explore the possibility of dispensing with the MLC (Minimal Link Condition) in syntax within the current framework of the minimalist program. We propose the MMC (Maximal Matching Condition) and the Earliness principle, and claim that apparent“MLC Effects” are in fact epiphenomena of the proposed system. Evidence in favor of the proposed system comes from acceptable instances of long-distance DP-movement in English, Georgian, and Niuean. We also argue that in multiple wh-questions, any wh-movement is syntactically ruled in and that the (un)acceptability of the sentences is determined by the constraint for the functional interpretation of wh-phrases.
