ABSTRACT
Here I concentrate on the locality problem that arises in the context of raising verbs when the embedded subject moves over the experiencer. I review the major approaches put forth in the minimalist program, and highlight their shortcomings. I propose a solution that crucially relies on the timing of operations, and thus on a strictly derivational architecture of the grammar. This chapter highlights the interpretive limits of pure Agree-relations and the role of case in the characterization of interveners, and argues that effects reminiscent of the Person-Case-Constraint may obtain in the domain of experiencer constructions in English.
