Abstract

Wasow 1975 argues that three problems about rule ordering arise in the proposal of Harman 1972. Two of these are in fact illusory, and the other can be met by means of the convention that variable movement rules can also move there. The interaction between Tough Movement and Dative Movement provides additional positive evidence for the proposal in question.
