The EPP: A condition in narrow syntax
Kim, Yeon-Seung

Abstract

Kim, Yeon-Seung. 2018. The EPP: A condition in narrow syntax. Korean Journal of English Language and Linguistics 18-2, 219-238. The purpose of this paper is to make it clear that the EPP is a condition in narrow syntax. Against the argument that the EPP is a PF condition, three pieces of evidence are presented: anaphor binding, scope with regard to negative elements, and nominative Case checking. This paper has shown that all the pieces of evidence exploited for the PF condition analysis of the EPP can be reanalyzed and can be in full accord with the argument that the EPP is a condition in narrow syntax. Finally, we have illustrated that island repair in sluicing constructions cannot be crucial evidence for the PF condition analysis of the EPP, because the island repair can be solved in many other ways without resort to the PF condition analysis of the EPP.

Keywords:
