Multiple multiple spellout

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

A presently unmotivated assumption within the Minimalist program is that the rule of Spell-out applies only once. This paper argues that such a residue of the level of S-structure is undesirable, and liberalizing Spell-out to apply as many times as it needs to, up to economy, has several pleasant features, as well as various intriguing consequences which are worth pursuing. The model that emerges is radically derivational, so much so that in the end the issue is raised of whether the PF and LF components organize themselves into traditional levels of representation.
