Issues of Affix Hopping in an Attract-F framework

Below are some brief discussions of some issues which arise if we take up the proposal in (1) and (2), pointing out some difficulties and areas for future research. The discussion will be set against a backdrop of recent proposals within the “Minimalist Program” set out in Chomsky (1993, et seq.), particularly those involving Attract-F, which are sketched below. Note that (1) and (2) was proposed by Lasnik in the context of a framework which was a predecessor to the Attract-F framework, and the goal of the present discussion is to discover how Lasnik’s proposal fares in this new setting.
