Research Abstract

This study proposes that while the ECP (Empty Category Principle) effects should be derived from constraints on syntactic structures, the subjacency and CED (Condition on Extraction Domain) effects should be due to constraints on prosodic structures within the phonological component (in the process of externalization), i.e. during the mapping from Spell-Out (PF-Transfer) to PF . It is shown that our proposal straightforwardly explains why the subjacency and CED effects are only observed in the overt component, whereas the ECP effects are observed not only in the overt and but also in covert components. This study differs from the previous studies on locality in that while the latter deals with all the locality phenomena in a unified way, our analysis claims that locality is an epiphenomena, consisting of the effects of constraints in the two different components of the grammar, the syntactic component and phonological component.
