Abstract
Abstract
The paper investigates a range of facts exhibiting reconstruction effects. We consider facts concerning anaphor
binding, variable binding, quantifier scope and binding condition C in A-bar-movement structures (questions, relative clauses and
topicalization) as well as VP fronting in English and Chinese. Our findings provide strong support to the copy theory of movement
and identify some areas that need further refinement.
