Syntax | Stony Brook Department of Linguistics

It is generally assumed that movement is constrained by Minimality. Let’s assume that this is indeed the case. Thus, movement is constrained as in (1):

(1) No movement operation can involve A and B in the following configuration, (where A,B,C are featurally identical in relevant ways) and C “intervenes” between A and B.
…A…C…B….

What does intervene mean?

(2) C intervenes between A and B in (1) above just in case A c-commands C and C c-commands B.
