The purpose of this paper is to explore a possibility to explain the (anti)-reconstruction effects in relative clauses. Relative clauses show reconstruction effects with respect to Binding Condition A, idiom chunks and quantificational binding. On the other hand, they display anti-reconstruction effects regarding Binding Conditoin C and quantifier scope. In an attempt to explain the reconstruction effects, quite a number of linguists (Kayne(1994), among many others) adopt the so-called promotion approach. Under the promotion approach the head nominal is base-generated inside the relative clause and moves out of it to be a head nominal. Under this approach the reconstruction effects can be easily explained, since the lower copy of the head noun may be interpreted at LE. In this paper, however, I point out that the promotion approach is problematic in view of the anti-reconstruction effects. Instead, I propose that the traditional standard analysis proposed in Chomsky (1986) can deal with both reconstruction effects and anti-reconstruction effects, if we assume that the semantic value of some type of variables is determined via copying, not via binding.
