ABSTRACT
This chapter ' examines a class of phenomena in French analogous to tough movement constructions in English, exemplified in (lb).
(1) a. It is easy to please John. b. John is easy to please.
Although similar phenomena in French present a complex pattern of data, within the framework of Relational Grammar (RG) they can all be accounted for by a single condition of remarkable simplicity:
(2) Condition on Object Raising in French An Object Raising structure is well-formed only if the raisee heads only 2-arcs in any clause below the raising predicate.
