## Summary

This talk was presented on 2021 April 8 - 11 at the [39th meeting of the West
Coast Conference on Formal
Linguistics](https://sites.google.com/view/wccfl2021/).

Provided abstract:
This presentation is an attempt to revive Chomsky’s LSLT (1955/1975) complex
predicate approach to ECM under the neo-constructivist model of syntax (cf.
Borer 2005). In particular, I argue that the ECM verb and the infinitive form
a complex predicate in the LF component as a side-effect of the independently
motivated head movement, and show that the proposed analysis can provide
evidence against postulating an overt (either EPP- or Case-driven) Object
Shift in ECM configurations.
