In generative syntax, A-bar movement (or A ′-movement) is movement to an A-bar position (e.g. wh-movement). As is well known, unbounded dependencies are a characteristic property of A ′-movement （Huang et al., 2009). Constructions that have been shown to be derived by A ′-movement are typically labeled as “wh-movement” structures because they are well represented by wh-interrogative constructions in English.
Origin
The term was first used in the late 1980s.
Characteristics
a. A gap exists and has an A ′-antecedent.
b. The antecedent–gap relation can cross multiple clause boundaries – unbounded dependency.
c. The dependency relation is sensitive to locality conditions such as Subjacency and the Condition on Extraction Domain.
