We propose to extend the feature movement theory (Chomsky 1995; Ochi 1999; Lasnik 1999, 2001; Agbayani 1998, 2000, 2006; Agbayani & Ochi 2006) by claiming that the separation of formal features (FF) from the rest of a lexical item occurs not only in syntactic movement but also in the course of lexical insertion. Applying this hypothesis to Parasitic Gap constructions, we argue that the FF and the rest of the lexical item are merged into the Parasitic Gap site and the real gap site, respectively. The split lexical insertion model straightforwardly accounts for the major properties of these constructions without appealing to sideward movement (Nunes 2001, 2004) or to additional assumptions about the featural content of the split portions of the lexical item under fission (Assmann 2012/Himmelreich 2017). An interesting result of this proposal is that it places parasitic gap constructions under a general theory of movement and lexical insertion.

寄生间隙结构中的分割词汇插入*

我们建议扩展特征运动理论（Chomsky 1995; Ochi 1999; Lasnik 1999, 2001; Agbayani 1998, 2000, 2006; Agbayani & Ochi 2006），声称形式特征（FF）与词汇项的其余部分分离不仅发生在句法运动中，而且发生在词汇插入过程中。将此假设应用于寄生间隙结构，我们认为 FF 和词汇项的其余部分分别合并到寄生间隙位置和真实间隙位置。分割词汇插入模型直接解释了这些结构的主要属性，而不需要侧向移动（Nunes 2001, 2004）或关于裂变下词汇项分割部分的特征内容的额外假设（Assmann 2012/Himmelreich 2017） 。
