In this talk, I will argue that the edge need not be only the highest specifier; a lower specifier of the clausal periphery may also act as an escape hatch for further syntactic movement. This is evidenced by the novel observation that Mongolian permits cross-clausal A-movement to escape phases in which the highest specifier is an ? position (contra Gong 2022, 2023). In particular, given the Ban on Improper Movement, I propose to posit a lower A-specifier that facilitates subsequent cross-clausal A-movement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Ogloo Jurkhaichin (MIT) Title: The Nature of \u0091Edge\u0092: Evidence from Cross-clausal A-movement in Mongolian Time: Thursday, November 6th, 5pm - 6pm Location: 32-D769 Abstract: Syntactic operations are bounded by phases, in which the edge is typically taken to be the highest specifier (Fox &amp; Pesetsky 2005; Rackowski &amp; Richards 2005; Bo\u009akovi? 2016, a.o.).
