Syntactic movement is a fact that must be expressed somehow by every grammar of human languages and was first captured by structuralist linguists who called it "discontinuous constituents"; other terms are "displacement", or simply "movement" (cf. Graffi 2001). It aims at capturing the fact that certain constituents appear to have been displaced from the position where they receive important features of interpretation (cf. Carnie 2006).
