The birth of the Principles and Parameters Approach makes it possible to simplify transformational rules so radically as to be reduced to the single rule Move. The author proposes that Move, as conceived as a special case of Merge, named internal Merge, under the Minimalist Program requires two prerequisite operations: one is to ?dig? into a structure to find a target of Merge, called Search, and the other is to make this target reach the top of the structure, called Float. The author argues that these two different operations are constrained by ?minimal computation.? Due to the nature of how they apply, these operations are constrained by this economy condition in such a way that Search must be minimal and Float obeys Minimize chain links, which requires that this operation cannot skip possible landing sites. The author demonstrates that this mechanism of minimal Search and Float deals with a variety of phenomena that involve quantifier raising, such as rigidity effects of scope interaction, the availability of cumulative readings of plural relation sentences and pair-list readings of multiple wh-questions. Also demonstrated in this volume is that the same mechanism properly captures the locality effects of topicalization, focus movement, and ellipsis with contrastive focus. 410 0$aStudies in Natural Language and Linguistic Theory,$x0924-4670 ;$v93 606 $aSyntax 606 $aJapanese language 606 $aLanguages 606 $aLanguage and languages 606 $aSyntax$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N45000 606 $aJapanese$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N28000 606 $aAsian Languages$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N15000 615 0$aSyntax. 615 0$aJapanese language. 615 0$aLanguages. 615 0$aLanguage and languages. 615 14$aSyntax. 615 24$aJapanese. 615 24$aAsian Languages. 676 $a415 700 $aAbe$b Jun$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0855952 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910135973003321 996 $aMinimalist Syntax for Quantifier Raising, Topicalization and Focus Movement: A Search and Float Approach for Internal Merge$92547400 997 $aUNINA
