View source for Move α

'''Move alpha''' is a most general formulation of possible [[movement]]s. In effect, Move alpha says that some category alpha can be moved anytime anywhere. It generalizes rules such as Move NP and Move wh, which in their turn generalize construction specific transformations such as [[Passivization]] and Raising. Move alpha itself is considered an instance of [[Affect alpha]].
