Abstract
In English, Wh Movement oftentimes has the effect of letting the phrase moved be spoken in a higher position than where it originates. That position seems to get mapped onto a portion of the resulting string that is to the left of the original position. Quantifier Raising in English, by contrast, tends to require the phrase that is moved to be spoken in the position it is moved from. And when there is material that is spoken in the higher position, that material gets mapped onto a portion of the resulting string that is to the right of the lower position. I attempt to explain these differences. The explanation comes from taking the movement operation to be remerge (giving rise to multidominant phrase markers) and letting determiners spread across distant syntactic positions but get mapped onto one word.
