Citazioni

Consider the locality condition on move α. A general condition [...] is that the target of movement must be the closest possible position, with varying effects depending on the kind of movement involved. The condition is very strict for head movement, which cannot pass over the closest c-commanding head (the "Head Movement Constraint" (HMC) [...]).
