Scrambling has been argued as an optional operation by Saito (1985, 1989, 1992, 2004, 2005), Fukui (1993), and others. An optional overt movement in scrambling is against minimalism in which displacement takes place only when the uninterpretable features are involved. It has been puzzling what feature makes scrambling possible. In accordance with the minimalist spirit, Bo？kovi？ and Takahashi (1998) claim that scrambled elements are base-generated in their surface position and undergo the obligatory LF movement to receive theta-roles. Miyagawa (1997, 2001, 2003) claims that local A-scrambling is triggered by the EPP-feature on T based on V-to-T movement in languages like Japanese, while long-distance A"-scrambling is not triggered by the EPP-feature, but by focus. These two different analyses are in common in that they try to get rid of optionality in scrambling. Their approaches are however different: the former argues for no overt movement in scrambling, and the latter claims that movement in scrambling is obligatory and overt due to the EPP-feature. Under the minimalist spirit, I argue that scrambling in Korean is not an optional operation, but an obligatory syntactic operation. Concerning the driving force of the operation, I claim that scrambling is uniformly induced by the edge feature (EF) (Chomsky 2005, 2006). It is also argued that the scrambled position driven by EF is not necessarily an A"-position but can be an A-position as long as the same focus feature is involved.
