This study aims at analyzing the peripheral structure of the English and Korean tough varieties. The tough subject of the English tough construction is a topic, which is base-generated in [Spec, TP] (Choi 2004). I have argued that the Korean representative of the English tough subject is a nun-marked nominal, which is base-generated in the matrix [Spec, CP] of the tough predicate or can undergo peripheral movement to the embedded [Spec, CP] of the tough predicate; it occurs as a plain topic or contrastive topic. I have further shown that the Case-alternated nominal is assigned a contrastive focus. Under my system, the contrastive focus and contrastive topic are both Int in Chomsky’s (2001) term and undergo peripheral movement to the Spec of a phase (Chomsky 2005). In this vein, I have shown that like the contrastively focused nominal, the contrastive topic undergoes peripheral movement to [Spec, CP]. I have also shown that if the peripheral movement violates intervention effects, the sentence would be ruled out. For narrow syntax, probe into an earlier phase is blocked by intervention effects (Chomsky 2005). The intervention effects are induced by the PIC.
