First, A-movement targets a potential theta position (thus A(rgument) movement) while A&#8217;-movement is to a non-theta position. Second, A-movement is Case-driven. The first distinction became obsolete with the advent of the predicate-internal subject hypothesis, which deprives Spec,TP of ever being a theta-position. This leaves only the second characterization for defining A-movement. S. Takahashi (2006) and S. Takahashi and Hulsey (in press, LI) propose an intriguing Case-based analysis for A-movement within MP. In this talk, I will suggest an alternative to Case by exploring instances of A-movement across a number of languages that do not involve Case (e.g., Finnish, Japanese). Based on these cases, I will introduce an entirely different approach to distinguishing A- and A&#8217;-movements that takes advantage of the phase architecture of grammar ? what I term the &#8220;Phase-Based Characterization of Chains&#8221; (PBCC) (Miyagawa, in press). This proposal notes that movements that do not cross a Transfer Domain have A-movement properties while those that cross a Transfer Domain have A&#8217;-properties. The analysis provides a straightforward account of not only the familiar A- and A&#8217;-movements including scrambling, but it also successfully accounts for more exotic and mysterious types of movements that rely on the notion of\u0093mixed A\/A&#8217; position&#8221; found in languages such as Finnish (Holmberg and Nikanne 2002).<\/P><\/p>\n<p><P>Miyagawa, Shigeru.
