Displacement to the peripheral position has received special attention particularly in the recent analysis of Minimalist Program. Given that uninterpretable features can have their values assigned remotely by their corresponding interpretable features by way of Agree, displacement needs some independent explanation to its occurrence. In this paper, we analyze displacement into four types―Object Shift, wh-Movement, TH/EX, and Scrambling―depending on whether or not (i) the operation triggers any significant semantic effects at the (first) phase, [spec, v], and (ii) it undergoes further movement. By doing so, scrambling is defined as an operation that occurs in narrow syntax by EPP at v, and subsequently in the phonological component. This analysis can not only accommodate both the pure phonological and syntactic properties, by excluding the unnecessary reconstruction process in scrambling, but generalize the overall pattern of displacement in natural languages.
