The study presents a wealth of empirical evidence involving unbound traces created by remnant topicalization, wh-movement, scrambling, left dislocation, and extraposition. Four characteristic properties of remnant movement are identified that pose severe problems for a representational movement theory. It is argued that these properties can be fruitfully addressed on the basis of Chomsky's minimalist program, and that they follow from a derivational movement theory that incorporates the Barriers Condition, the Strict Cycle Condition, Fewest Steps, Last Resort, and the Minimal Link Condition but completely dispenses with surface filters. \u003cem\u003eIncomplete\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eCategory Fronting\u003c\/em\u003e provides an empirical underpinning for the minimalist program and presents a powerful argument for a derivational theory of grammar. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eAudience: Incomplete Category Fronting\u003c\/em\u003e will interest all linguists working on theoretical syntax, Germanic syntax or the syntax-semantics interface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45283166584983,"sku":"9789048149414","price":11017.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048149414.webp?v=1769304264","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/incomplete-category-fronting-a-derivational-approach-to-remnant-movement-in-german-9789048149414","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
