=== Move ===
Move arises via "internal Merge".

'''Movement as feature-checking''': The original formulation of the [[extended projection principle]] states that clauses must contain a subject in the specifier position of spec TP/IP.<ref name=":10">{{Cite book|last=Fukui|first=Naoki|title=The Handbook of Contemporary Syntactic Theory|publisher=[[Blackwell Publishers]]|year=2001|isbn=978-0-470-75641-6|location=Oxford, UK|pages=374–408|chapter=Phrase Structure|doi=10.1002/9780470756416.ch12}}</ref> In the tree above, there is an EPP feature. This is a strong feature which forces re-Merge—which is also called internal merge—of the DP ''the girl''. The EPP feature in the tree above is a subscript to the T head, which indicates that T needs a subject in its specifier position. This causes the movement of <the girl> to the specifier position of T.<ref name="sportiche2014" />
