It has been commonly noted that rightward movement operations, such as Extraposition and Heavy NP Shift, have discourse and prosodic effects. On the basis of this observation, linguists like McCloskey (1999), Landau (2001), and Göbbel (2007) suggest that rightward movement operations belong to the phonological component. A main advantage of this PF movement approach is that it can derive the strict locality of rightward movement jointly with the Cyclic Spell-Out hypothesis. Rightward movement beyond the boarders of a phase will be impossible since Spell-Out of a phase establishes the linear order of its elements and further operations may not alter this ordering at the next phase. However, the PF movement approach suffers from a major shortcoming. A natural prediction of the PF movement approach is that rightward movement would have no semantic interpretive effects because the moved copies made by it are invisible to LF. However, contrary to this expectation, the empirical data presented in this paper clearly show that an element shifted by rightward movement plays a crucial role to LF interpretation, such as control, binding, parasitic gap incensing, and scopal interpretation. Considering these semantic effects, we should regard rightward movement not as a PF operation but as just another instance of Move ɑ in narrow syntax.
