"Introduction Referring to the theoretical suggestion of Poole(1996)about optional movement in the minimalist framework, two empirical hypotheses are derived and tested in a reading time study and in a grammaticality judgement task.
An analysis of variance shows their significant effect on the grammaticality judgments of those structures assumed to allow optional movement.
Hypothesis II: The grammaticality judgments were interpreted calculating a two-way repeated measures MANOVA based on Within-subject variable A refers to 6 the general linear model.
with movement)and within-subject variable B refers to"syntactic structure type"(possibility of stylistic inversion vs.
What is important is the lack of a significant main effect of variable A"syntactic movement": subjects gave identical grammaticality judgments The 7 to the variants with and without additional movement.
Behnstedt(1973: 209)illustrates this fact by presenting as many as ten different structural variants for a question like"When did he go?" Sociolinguistic investigation Assuming syntactic optionality for the pair of sentences(1) and(2)and assuming stylistic considerations to be the trigger of the optional movement, this sort of syntactic movement 8 seems therefore to be subject to choice or decision processes.
) Lifestyle and grammaticality judgments In order to investigate the question of possible sociolinguistic influences on optional syntactic movement, the effect of lifestyle on graded grammaticality judgments is tested.
The corresponding HO of main effect C to reject reads as follows: All three lifestyle types do not differ in their grammaticality judgments for the sentence pairs(1)and(2)."
