Domains of ordering

Abstract This paper develops a theory of linearization in which the LCA (Kayne, The antisymmetry syntax, MIT Press, 1994) linearizes one portion clause, with secondary algorithm linearizing second clause when LCA-determined order terminals would conflict other principles morphosyntax. empirical focus is correspondence or lack thereof between scope and word Japanese, Tagalog, English: for there strict linear certain elements their scope, while another this breaks down. Given structure following Biberauer [Linguist Inq 45(2):169–225, 2014], alongside restricted reconstruction, we show that determines displays where
