Parameters for Successive Cyclic Movement in English and Scandinavian

Fox & Pesetsky (in press) proposed a theory of cyclic linearization to account for successive cyclic movement in terms of Spell-Out domains. They suggested that word order in a phrase determined in a lower Spell-Out domain cannot be changed in a higher domain. This is called "Order Preservation." Scandinavian object shift phenomena can be explained well in terms of their theory of Order Preservation. However, problems arise with respect to Scandinavian quantifier raising, English wh-movement and topicalization. Without an appropriate mechanism to make Scandinavian quantifiers and English wh-phases and topicalized expressions stop by the left edge of VP, a word order conflict will arise between CP and VP. To solve this problem I suggest parametrization of the property of verbal heads to the effect that Scandinavian verbs have an optional, uninterpretable Q-feature, though they do not have an EPP feature, whereas English verbs have an optional EPP feature.
