Abstract This paper investigates the hypothesis that movement to SpecFinP in Finnish is an instance of discourse neutral EPP movement that obeys a locality condition. It is proposed that the subject argument in the specifier of vP is the closest potential goal for the EPP and therefore the “default” element to move to SpecFinP. The other elements, such as the object argument, have to first reach the edge of vP in order to be available for EPP movement to higher positions. The movement of the object to the edge of vP is argued to be discourse-driven scrambling.

芬兰人转向SpecFinP

摘要本文研究了以下假设：芬兰语中向SpecFinP的运动是遵循局部条件的话语中性EPP运动的一个实例。建议vP的指定者中的主题参数是EPP的最接近的潜在目标，因此是移动到SpecFinP的“默认”元素。其他元素（例如object参数）必须首先到达vP的边缘，以便可用于EPP移动到更高的位置。物体向vP边缘的移动被认为是话语驱动的加扰。
