Improper Movement and Unambiguous Binding

A Formal Foundation for a and A-bar Movement

It is natural to think of sentences in natural language as exhibiting longdistance dependencies. A surprising fact, established over decades of linguistic investigation, is that such dependencies are naturally treated as falling into one of two groups. ‘A’ dependencies (typified by raising, passivization, etc) are those which allow for re-binding, which disallow reconstruction, and which do not...

Improper Movement in Tough Constructions and Gapped Degree Phrases

Broadly, this paper proposes that both TCs and GDPs are improper movement constructions, where an Ā-movement step precedes an A-movement step in the same movement chain. However, TCs and GDPs are not identical constructions. TCs involve (improper) movement of an overt DP from the embedded clause into the matrix clause, while GDPs involve (improper) movement of a null operator within the embedde...

LINGUISTISCHE ARBEITS BERICHTE Syntactic Buffers A Local–Derivational Approach to Improper Movement, Remnant Movement, and Resumptive Movement

Depletion of centromeric MCAK leads to chromosome congression and segregation defects due to improper kinetochore attachments.

The complex behavior of chromosomes during mitosis is accomplished by precise binding and highly regulated polymerization dynamics of kinetochore microtubules. Previous studies have implicated Kin Is, unique kinesins that depolymerize microtubules, in regulating chromosome positioning. We have characterized the immunofluorescence localization of centromere-bound MCAK and found that MCAK localiz...
