Document Summary
Psrs cannot solely capture all word order patterns. Movement operations are required to account for more word order patterns and explain. Movement operations are syntactic processes that rearrange constituents and parts of how sentences are formed constituents within a structure. The aspect being moved will always be the head or phrase. There are major and minor types of movement operations. Minor operations only move features from one constituent to another (affix hopping, etc. ) wh-movement, etc. ) Major operations involve the movement of heads and phrases (t-to-c, v-to-t, Movement operations will typically be triggered by a certain value within the sentence. Syntactic structures have a d-structure (deep structure)and an s-structure (surface. All phrases are formed using psrs that can decide what is allowed to enter in a phrase. Psrs make up the d-structure of all sentences and clauses, they form the input for. Movement operations use the structures that are formed by psrs as the input for their structure) movement operations.
