Extending Doubling to Non-local Domains: Complete vs. Partial Copying + Deletion and Related Reconstruction Issues

The traditional approach to these facts assumes that CLLD involves movement, while HT does not.1 Other approaches, like the one recently developed by Frascarelli (2003), assume base generation of CLLD (much as HT) combined with the hypothesis that sensitivity to islands should come from the fact that the dislocated phrase of CLLD undergoes further movement from the left peripheral topic position where it is directly merged into a higher topic position (cf. also Iatridou (1990) for closely related ideas). Following Belletti (2005), I will assume an approach closer to the traditional one that I elaborate along the lines originally developed by Cecchetto (2000). According to this approach, CLLD involves a doubling movement derivation, starting out from an original big DP containing both the clitic and the dislocated phrase. Among the clearest
