This article addresses the syntax of the notorious tough(-movement) construction (TC) in English. TCs exhibit a range of apparently contradictory empirical properties suggesting that their derivation involves the application of both A-movement and A -movement operations. Given that within previous Principles and Parameters models TCs have remained "unexplained and in principle unexplainable" (Holmberg 2000: 839) due to incompatibility with constraints on θ-assignment, locality, and Case, this article argues that the phase-based implementation of the Minimalist program (Chomsky 2000(Chomsky , 2001(Chomsky , 2004) permits a reanalysis of null wh-operators capable of circumventing the previous theoretical difficulties. Essentially, tough-movement consists of A-moving a constituent out of a "complex" null operator which has already undergone A -movement, a "smuggling" construction in the terms of Collins (2005a,b).

“…In (34) I assume, following Svenious (2004), the constituent "üçte" in the fraction phrase (FRACTIONP) is a case phrase (KP) since it contains a case morpheme "-te" and the features of the K head percolates up to the Fraction head. My aim here is to explain different fractional constructions in a unified manner.…”

Numbers are frequent expressions used in daily communication to count objects, compare amounts, calculate, determine order, make measurements, encode information and transmit data. In traditional and modern grammars of Turkish, numerals are covered under adjectives. Other studies on numerals in Turkish discussed the use of numerals with reference to their etymological and mythological roots instead of their structural properties. In this study, I will try to give a fully detailed explanation of numeral expressions in Turkish following the categorial classification of Booij (2009) and the syntactic analyses of Hurford (2007, 2010). In addition to these, I will propose a new set of phrase structure rule for the fractional numeral expressions to explain their syntactic structure. The new set of phrase structure rules presented in the study can explain all kinds of numeral expressions, ordinal, cardinal, and fractional. The new phrase structure rules can also explain different constructions for fractional numerals which seem very diverse using a unified approach.

“…If the trigger also has features that attract XP out of HP, then by assumption this occurs simultaneously with the checking of features on HP, and extraction is possible." (Svenonius 2004: section 4 -my emphasis)…”

“…See Thoms (2011Thoms ( , 2012 In ellipses without limited extraction, such as English VPE and sluicing, the phase head acts as a licensor (see later): the feature F on X is valued by Z, just as in (27), but the value is 'non-spell-out/ellipsis'. Since the phase head can attract all unsatisfied elements to its edge (see Svenonius 2004), the extraction possibilities are the same irrespective of whether the chunk is pronounced or not. (28) Ellipsis licensed by a phase head (no limited extraction)…”
