Lee Jae-Choel. 1999. The Locality Condition of Movement. Studies in Modern Grammar 16, 103-119. The main purpose of this paper is to point out the problems of the shortest move requirement and the Attract-F proposed in Chomsky (1993) and Chomsky (1995) respectively, and to propose an alternative. The existing locality conditions restrict the domain of either the moving elements or the feature checkers. But both approaches cannot explain Islands Violations, Superraing and Crossing Effects. To solve these problems, I argued that the existing Attract-F requirement be maintained as the locality condition of feature checkers, but the Minimal Link Condition be required as independent locality condition of moving elements. In contrast with Chomsky(1995), I assume that [+WH] feature of Wh-phrases is [-interpretable] in order to explain the asymmetries of Islands Violations and Crossing Effects.
