Syncretism has been reported to have the peculiar property of repairing violations of syntactic constraints, e.g. with agreement (Schutze 2003, Bhatt & Walkow 2013) and case matching (Citko 2005, van Craenenbroeck 2012). This paper puts forward the view that in one well‐reported instance of syncretism repair of case‐matching violations with ATB‐movement, this repair follows directly from the nature of ATB movement. We pursue a novel movement‐based analysis in which ATB movement involves the actual fusion of two syntactic objects, via intersection of feature sets. As well as deriving the one‐to‐many relation between fillers and gaps in ATB, we show how the ‘repair’ effect of syncretism with case matching violations follows naturally under this approach.

ATB 依赖中的案例匹配和融合

据报道，Syncretism 具有修复违反句法约束的特殊属性，例如与协议 (Schutze 2003, Bhatt & Walkow 2013) 和案例匹配 (Citko 2005, van Craenenbroeck 2012)。本文提出的观点是，在一个报道良好的案例匹配违规与 ATB 运动的融合修复实例中，这种修复直接来自 ATB 运动的性质。我们追求一种新颖的基于运动的分析，其中 ATB 运动涉及两个句法对象的实际融合，通过特征集的交集。除了推导出 ATB 中填充符和间隙之间的一对多关系之外，我们还展示了在这种方法下如何自然地遵循与大小写匹配违规的融合的“修复”效果。
