The objective of this paper is to provide the possibility that DP can be included in the phase system and the to discuss the phasehood of DP. Chomsky (2000, 2001a, 2001b) assumes that a phase is CP or vP and that derivations should proceed phase by phase. However, I propose that DP is also a phase, and the specifier position of DP functions as a relevant escape hatch of wh-extraction. One argument for this proposal derives from the fact that extraction from DPs is blocked by a filled [Spec, DP]. This suggests that wh-extraction from DPs is impossible unless the Spec of DP is vacant and available as an escape hatch for movement. The fact that the specifier position of DP functions as a relevant escape hatch for the wh-extraction from DP helps the argument for the phasehood of DP as well as CP and vP. The interpretation of reflexive pronouns also supports that idea. Two relatively defined phase systems suggested by Den Dikken (2006) and Shin’ya (2006) are discussed to give more reasonable grounds for the phasehood of DP. Den Dikken’s (2006) idea of phase extension explores the extended notion of phase and gives DP a qualified status of phase. Shin’ya’s (2006) phase system is also discussed to show that DP can be included in the phase system and more unified explanation for the effect of Specificity Condition is given under his framework of phase system.
