While much work in generative syntax has adopted bottom‐up syntactic derivation, a number of factors favor a top‐down approach. This article offers a new articulation of the top‐down Merge Right–Branch Right approach. In accord with the general Minimalist goals that computation should be carried out in small domains, that structure is based on binary pairings, and that grammatical mechanisms should, as far as possible, be limited to those that are logically necessary, three hypotheses are advanced: (i) that downward movement/copying of elements is driven by theta marking; (ii) that a [D] parameter operates across a range of syntactic constructions to direct displaced elements either through the syntactic structure or into a memory buffer to reach their points of selection/theta marking; and (iii) that the concept of the memory buffer previously proposed in the literature should be modified so that some but not all displaced elements enter it. The [D]‐parameter hypothesis offers a common basis for a variety of syntactic phenomena: short movement in expletive sentences, T‐to‐C movement in wh questions, the Comp–trace effect, and the anti‐Comp–trace effect seen in relative clauses.

引导语法流量
尽管生成语法的许多工作都采用了自下而上的句法推导,但是许多因素都支持自上而下的方法。本文提供了自上而下的“合并权-分支权”方法的新说明。为了符合极简主义者的总体目标,即应该在小范围内进行计算,该结构基于二进制配对,并且语法机制应尽可能地限制为逻辑上必需的那些,提出了三个假设: (i)元素的向下移动/复制是由theta标记驱动的;(ii)[D]参数跨多种语法构造进行操作,以通过语法结构或内存缓冲区将位移的元素引导到它们的选择/θ标记点;(iii)应该修改先前在文献中提出的存储缓冲区的概念,以使某些但不是全部置换的元素进入其中。[D]参数假设为各种句法现象提供了通用基础:短句中的短句移动,wh问题中的T到C移动,Comp-trace效应和anti-Comp-trace效应。关系从句。
