This paper discusses the depictive secondary predicate's movement in Spanish secondary predication construction. In Spanish, depictive secondary predicates can move to the position in between the main verb and the direct object. Moreover, the depictive secondary predicate's wh-movement and the subextraction from a secondary predicate phrase are also possible. To explain this phenomenon, I suggest a parallel merge in the course of derivation of depictive secondary predicate. I propose that the secondary predicate is not analyzed any more as an adjunct in the structure in which two syntactic objects that represent primary predication and secondary predication are merged in parallel. Based on this derivational structure, I argue that a phase can be extended by means of V-to-T movement and a secondary predicate can move to the edge of an extended phase escaping PrP category. However, English secondary predicate's focus movement and its wh-movement are not acceptable. I claim that the parametric variation captured in two languages is due to phase head's movement and a phase extension.
