abstract A strongly derivational approach to syntax is proposed (cf. Epstein et al. 1998, Brody 2002), which is characterized by a lack of projection, a lack of constituents, and adherence to a strong form of Inclusiveness. The model has no Merge operation, and posits no syntactic representations either. The operation Transfer accesses LIs in a cyclic fashion, providing appropriate input to both phonology and semantics. Transfer implements checking, and follows a Linearization rule that is generalized across the two interface components.
