Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project has investigated the development of object movement in the history of English and attempted to account for the results of the investigation in terms of the hierarchical structure of functional categories in the left periphery of the vP-domain. From the data on the relative order between objects and adverbs, it has been claimed that positive objects and quantified objects move to the specifiers of different functional categories, namely, Top(ic) and Foc(us), in the left periphery of the vP-domain. Moreover, the loss of object movement has been argued to be related to the loss of Top and Foc in the left periphery of the vP-domain, as well as the change in the basic word order within VP.
