Introduction The present volume arises from the 18tn annual conference of the Atlantic Provinces Linguistic Association [APLA] held in St. John, New Brunswick, in the fall of 1994. Eleven papers from that conference were published as a sepa rate volume entitled Microparametric Syntax and Dialect Variation (Black & Motapanyane 1996) as number 139 of the Current Issues in Linguistic Theory series. Several papers presented at the conference but not included in that book dealt with clitics and/or pronouns in various languages; it seemed a good idea therefore to publish them as a separate volume. A few papers presented at the conference which did not deal with clitics or pronouns have been included as well, because of their quality and because they concern movement—hence the title of the present volume. Four further papers1 not presented at the conference were later added, to enrich the offerings on clitics, pronouns and movement, and to make it a more interesting and rounded collection of papers. By way of introduction I will add a small contribution to the 'movement sec tion' of the volume: some reflections on movement theory in the light of recent developments in Minimalist theory, namely the copy theory of movement, dis cussed in Chomsky (1993), and feature movement, discussed in Chomsky (1995: chapter 4). lrThe papers by P. Hallman, E. Negrao, D. Massam & Y. Roberge, and C. Wilder.
