Abstract
The striking attribute of the "Left Node Raising" (LNR) construction is that the "LNRed" element is displaced outside the island-forming conjunct structure that immediately follows it. Nakao (2009) attempts to provide an across-the-board movement analysis of this construction. Her analysis, however, does not have much to say about "LNR" out of an island. This paper argues that the "LNR" construction is in fact one of the various forms the "Right Node Raising" (RNR) construction takes. Advancing an idea that "RNR" is conjunction reduction fed by linearization, we argue that "LNR" is derived by linearization rather than by movement, which accounts for its insensitivity to island constraints.
