In this paper, we will investigate properties and various analyses of copy raising (CR) constructions in English, and suggest the parallel movement analysis. We will propose that CR subject is raised to [Spec, T] of the matrix clause from [Spec, T] of the embedded clause. Simultaneously, the edge-feature (EF) of C in the matrix clause forces CR-subject to be moved to [Spec, C] of the matrix clause from [Spec, T] of the embedded clause. Copy raising constructions are ambiguous between a thematic and a nonthematic reading for the subject. To capture the duality of CR subject, we suggest that the non-thematic use of CR subjects is possible in case that the copy in [Spec, T] of the matrix clause is pronounced at PF component among three copies of CR subject, based on the parallel movement analysis. In contrast, the thematic use of CR subjects is available in case that the copy in [Spec, C] of the matrix clause is pronounced at PF component among three copies of CR subject. Given these proposals, we will conclude that the parallel movement analysis can explain properties of CR subject in English
