Definition
Vacuous Movement Hypothesis is the hypothesis that movement is blocked unless it affects the (linear) order of the string it applies to.
Example
This hypothesis entails that the wh-subject in who killed her? is not moved to the specifier position of the CP (as is the standard assumption for wh-questions), but remains in situ.
