Lee, Jeong-Shik. (2015). A Discontinuous A-Chain: A Case from Super-Equi Constructions. The Linguistic Association of Korea Journal 23(3), 1-15. This paper develops discussions that suggest an apparent discontinuous A-chain of the form, namely, ....... Xi ...... [it ...... ti .......], in cases of long distance control in Super-Equi constructions in English. This chain is implemented under a particular analysis of PRO in control constructions as a reflexive clitic that moves toward its antecedent (Lee 2009). It is shown that Hornstein's (1999) A-movement approach and Landau's (2001) PRO-based Agree approach cannot realize this chain. Thus the current reflexive clitic movement approach offers a uniform movement analysis of control phenomena, local or non-local, reducing the control module to the theory of binding.
