국면의 두 가지 문제와 해결책

The Derivation by Phase, Its Two Problems and Solutions.

The notion of phase has its motivation in economy principle, which has been proved to be appealing. But justifying the derivation by phase needs some consideration. Especially the interpretation/evaluation of phase and the assigned EPP-feature make problems and the solutions are required. To solve the problem of the phasal interpretation/evaluation, we make the following proposal: the activated are interpreted/evaluated at each phase. Further, we propose that the movement which do not accompany the agree operation is possible, which solve the problem of the assigned EPP-feature. These two proposals can be integrated into the one principle: maximize the effects of a syntactic operation. This principle, the generalized maximization principle, is the general version of Chomsky(2001) s principle.
