Chomsky argues that apparent S-Structure effects (e.g., binding phenomena and differences in overt vs. covert movement) may instead be reducible to interface conditions (PF, LF) and morphological feature checking. If so, Spell-Out can apply without positing an independent S-Structure level. The discussion reframes binding, Case, agreement, and wh-movement in terms of feature strength and economy. Strong features must be checked before Spell-Out (forcing overt movement), while weak features can be checked at LF (covert movement). This explains cross-linguistic differences such as French vs. English verb movement and SVO vs. VSO word order without invoking S-Structure constraints. Agreement and Case are unified as manifestations of Spec–head checking, with morphological features disappearing once checked. The overall conclusion: what seemed like S-Structure conditions may actually reflect interface-driven economy and feature checking, strengthening the Minimalist Program’s claim that only PF and LF are fundamental levels. 🎓 Welcome to Academic Mindcast – Your go-to channel for deep, engaging, and research-driven podcast episodes covering the full spectrum of academic disciplines.
