Revisiting extraction and subextraction patterns from arguments
Extraction and subextraction tend to receive separate attention in syntax, which leads to the assumption that they
should be analyzed independently, even though they both illustrate an asymmetry between subjects and objects. By looking at
various phenomena in English, German, Spanish and Norwegian I propose that this parallel behavior is not accidental, but that
there is a previously unnoticed generalization: subextraction is allowed iff extraction is possible and the target of
subextraction is not an indirect object. I propose that a revised version of Spec-to-Spec antilocality (
Erlewine 2016) is necessary: movement of and out of an XP must cross a
Projection Line
(
PL) (
Brody 1998), i.e. the set of all projections of a head. This
version of antilocality can derive
Freezing effects,
Huang’s
(1982)
CED, and their exceptions; and
Comp-trace effects and their
neutralization, extending them to subextraction. However, antilocality on its own cannot derive the extraction-subextraction
asymmetry in indirect objects. I propose that the Principle of Minimal Compliance (PMC) (
Richards 1998) can suspend antilocality if agree between a probe and a goal has happened. The version adopted here
will allow extraction of the whole XP, but disallow extraction of its specifier due to the lack of an agree relation. Antilocality
and the PMC combined also make the right predictions in other domains such as the lack of
do-support in matrix
subject questions and A-movement of the subject in declarative clauses, providing evidence that antilocality is a constraint that
should apply to (at least) both A and A′-movement.
