Conflicting C-command requirements

This paper concentrates on the locality problem that arises in the context of raising verbs when the embedded subject moves over the experiencer. I re view the major approaches put forth in the minimalist program, showing how each of them is inadequate. I propose a solution that crucially relies on t he timing of operations. To the extent that it is successful, the present a nalysis provides evidence for the strictly derivational approach to syntact ic relations.
