In this paper, we will suggest a new analysis of nuclear stress shift phenomena in English, focusing on the wh-movement construction and the relative clause. To capture this, we will consider the previous analyses of nuclear stress phenomena in Bresnan(1971), Legate(2003), Kahnemuyipour(2004), Yosuke(2009) and Richards(2017), and point out their problems. In English, the simple wh-phrase like the simple indefinite triggers the shift of nuclear stress to the verb, and the complex expressions receive nuclear scope in the standard way for direct objects. As for the effects of nuclear stress shift, we will propose the following assumptions. First, nuclear stress is assigned to a direct object prior to the movement in narrow syntax. Second, nuclear stress cannot be assigned to an empty element. Third, nuclear stress can be assigned to the CHAIN. If the tail of a movement chain is an empty element, then nuclear stress can be assigned to the head of a movement chain. Fourth, when a direct object is a pronoun or a simple indefinite, nuclear stress is shifted to the leftmost element of a direct object. Given our assumptions, we will explain nuclear stress shift phenomena in the wh-movement construction, the relative clause, and tough-construction.
