This paper explores several issues regarding predicate fronting: (i) extraction difference between predicate fronting and argument fronting, (ii) relation between Case on subject and possibility of predicate fronting, and (iii) movement vs. prolepsis. After we critically review Chung s (2007) analysis based on non-constituency of predicate fronting and Yoon s (2007) analysis based on proper binding condition, we will examine the three issues under the framework of cyclic linearization advanced in Fox & Pesetsky (2005) and resolve the problems that arise in their analyses.
