A Remark on Linearization

Muhammed Salim, Bedoor Sharaf Al Deen, and Mohammed Masoud

Abstract

This paper investigates linearization on or after a spell out. It argues that there is no correspondence between the PF component and the linearized syntactic domain after spell out. Following Kayne’s (1994) Linear Correspondence Axiom and building on Fox and Pesetsky’s (2005) Order Preservation, it shows that the T is interpreted in D2 while it has to be affixed in D1 at PF component. The study proposes that there has to be a mechanism at the interfaces that fuses the dispersed syntactic projections to correspond to the phonological component.The paper adopts Phase theory (Chomsky, 2000, 2001; Ciko, 2011).

Keywords: spell-out, Phase theory, linearization, Interfaces

1. Introduction

Spell Out is a process by which part of the structure is sent to PF and the other part to LF. Two types of spell out can be distinguished: single and multiple. Single spell out indicates that the syntactic derivation is sent to interfaces only once after all projections have taken place. Single spell out has been the orthodoxy in GB theory (Chomsky, 1998) and Minimalism (Chomsky, 1995, 2000). Multiple spell out, on the other hand, comes to existence with the introduction of Phase Impenetrability Condition (PIC) as the syntactic derivation contains different phases and hence different parts of the structure are to be sent to interfaces at different times (Chomsky, 2001, 2008). Multiple Spell out indicates the occurrence of “spell out more than once per derivation” (Citko, 2011, p.42).The edge domain and the spell out domain are spelled out at different times.
