| syntactic head movement of N to V | noun incorporation |
| simple, draws connection between incorporated and unincorporated structures with minimum of additional theoretical assumptions | Advantages of noun incorporation |
| starts with structures which we know exist, uses independently motivated head-movement to merge verbs with their inflectional affixes | Advantages of noun incorporation2 |
| shows why only a head Y can adjoin to head X only if YP is complement of X | Advantages of noun incorporation3 |
| sub-parts of words manipulated by syntax, also a kind of word-formation which should be handled by morphology | Why is noun incorporation inconsistent with LH? |
| verb takes special (affixal) form, argument which would normally be direct object shows up as subject | Passives |
| verb takes a special (affixal) form, argument as oblique shows up as direct object | Applicatives |
| verb takes a special affixal form, extra argument appears as subject, original subject becomes oblique | Causatives |
| morphological affix added to verb to go along with argument structure | What do passives, applicatives, causatives have in common? |
| allows straightforward explanation of the similarities with clearly syntactic constructions, accounts for certain regular patterns in the ordering of affixes on complex verb forms | Mirror Principle 2 Main Advantages |
| the applicative suffix | In Chechewa, the passive suffix always comes after... |
| APL-PSV-ASP | passive of an applicative |
| ordering where heads that are higher up in the structure are added further out | incorporation-style head-movement yields... |
| being added further to the right | being added further out means... |
| order of affixes is commonly reverse order of the independent syntactic heads | Mirror Principle |
| handling head movement syntactically | Mirror Principle makes an argument for... |
| proposed LF (logical form), QR (quantifier raising), PF (phonological form) | David Pesetsky |
| At any level of syntactic analysis, a relation between X and Y can be replaced by the affixation of lexical head of X to lexical head of Y. | Morphological Merger |
