Abstract

In a 'pervasive syntax’ approach to morphologically complex forms, like that of Distributed Morphology (DM in the following), the analysis and structures proposed for a form must also be contained within the analysis of any structure derived from that form. That is, in the same way that the structural analysis for Mary left is contained within the structural analysis for John said that Mary left, the structure for marginalize must be contained within the structure for marginalization.
