One underexplored aspect of this question (though see Kalin 2022) involves the distinction between what we can call &#8220;hypercyclic&#8221; vs. &#8220;non-hypercyclic&#8221; ordering: Given a set of postsyntactic operations a, b, and c ordered a ? b ? c (where ? is read \u0091precedes\u0092), under the hypercyclic derivation you apply operations a, b, and c in that order at each node, from bottom up, while under the non-hypercyclic derivation you first apply operation a from bottom up (within the domain), and then b, and then c. For a continuous sequence of syntactic terminal X, Y, and Z, in the order from bottom up, the hypercyclic derivation dictates the order Xa ? Xb ? Xc ? Ya ? Yb ? Yc ? Za ? Zb ? Zc, whereas the non-hypercyclic derivation Xa ? Ya ? Za ? Xb ? Yb ? Zb ? Xc ? Yc ? Zc. Here, we argue (i) for the order of operations given in (1), and (ii) this order is non-hypercyclic, examining data from verb agreement in Algonquian languages which evidence crucial interactions between Impoverishment, Fission, Displacement, and VI (e.g. contextual allomorphy).<\/p>\n<p>(1) Impoverishment ?
