Left-Periphery Fronting (LPF hereafter), usually referred to as &#8220;scrambling&#8221;, in Russian and other languages poses a challenge to this traditional dichotomy, because it exhibits a mix of common diagnostic properties. In this paper, I offer a unified account of Russian LPF, based on Takahashi and Hulsey&#8217;s (2009) theory of Wholesale Late Merger (WLM). On the account I propose, LPF is A-movement, but crucially it is A-movement from a cased position, which accounts for the properties that it shares with A&#8217;-movement. In addition to providing an empirically satisfactory account of the Russian phenomena, my proposal provides new support for Takahashi and Hulsey&#8217;s original theory.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Liuda Nikolaeva Title: The Case for Wholesale Late Merger Date\/Time: Tuesday, Dec 6, 1-2p Location: 32-D461 The syntactic literature has traditionally distinguished two types of phrasal movement, A-movement and A&#8217;-movement.
