'''Strong crossover''' is a one kind of [[crossover]]. It occurs in configurations in which a ''wh''-element or quantificational NP undergoes [[A-bar movement]] across a pronominal which [[c-command]]s the extraction site, as in (i):

(i) *Whoi did hei see ti 

''Who'' is moved across ''he'' in (i). The fact that ''he'' cannot be [[coindexed]] with ti (which would yield the reading: ''which x, x saw x''), is referred to as 'strong crossover', because on the intended reading the structure is strongly ungrammatical. Since the ''wh''-trace, being a [[variable]], must be [[A-free]], binding by ''he'' would constitute a [[Condition C]] violation. To be distinguished from [[weak crossover]].
