영문 초록

  Many linguists (Epstein and Seely 1999, 2006, Castillo, Drury, and Grohman 1999, Martin 1999, Boeckx 2000, Bo？kovi？ 2002 a, b, in press a, b) have tried to eliminate the extended projection principle (the EPP). Especially, Bo？kovi？ (2002 a, b, in press a, b) attributed the driving force for movement to the uninterpretable feature checking rather than the EPP. In this paper, I will show that the EPP cannot be reduced to the uninterpretable feature checking requirement. We do need the EPP as an independent requirement. Based on Relativised Minimality, ellipsis, and extraction facts, I will argue that the EPP is a configurational requirement on derivation rather than a featural requirement along the line of Chomsky (1981, 1982, 1999, 2000), Lasnik (2000), Holmberg (2000), and Landau(2007).
