Add to ORKGThis paper examines the motivation for argument movement within Minimalist syntactic theory. We argue against the untenable stipulation that only categorial features may motivate argument movement, contra Chomsky (1995). Alternatively, we suggest that the non-categorial features [case] and [phi] must be possible attracting features in order to account for Icelandic Multiple Subject Construction, Irish subject-less clauses, and English small clauses. In addition, we provide a typology of clauses, based on the strong attracting feature(s) in each
