(1) a. The clause is partitioned into three domains corresponding to VP, TP,
CP. However, it is denied that TP is the intermediate projection of VP
and CP the final projection. Rather both CP and TP are final projections
on their own. This means CP does not dominate TP, but both dominate
VP.
b. Different syntactic objects (SO) can move into [Spec,CP] and [Spec,TP].
c. The positions correlate with the two types of phrasal movement:
(i) [Spec,TP] is the position for A-movement,
(ii) [Spec,CP] is the position for A’-movement.
d. A- and A’-movement are triggered for different reasons:
(i) A-movement is triggered to create unambiguous labels,
(ii) A’-movement is triggered for interpretive reasons at LF.
