In the Minimalist Program there are two opposite views about QR. Hornstein (1999) claims that there is no QR, and the effect of QR is a by-product of A-movement. He proposes that the A-approach enables us to explain the locality of QR, while maintaining the Modularity Hypothesis. On the other hand, Fox (2000) departs from the Modularity Hypothesis, arguing that there is QR and QR takes place only when it gives a semantic effect. After pointing out empirical problems of both approaches, this paper proposes that QR can be eliminated by making use of AGREE operation. Furthermore, this paper advocates the position that the Modularity Hypothesis must be maintained.
