The aim of this thesis is to explore the way to motivate the null operator movement within the framework of Chomsky (2000). Dealing with purpose clause constructions, we will show that the value of the φ-set of a null operator can be specified from its antecedent through predication proposed by Williams (1980). Furthermore, we focus on the idiosyncrasy of the construction: purpose clauses show tensed-S condition. We will demonstrate that, by using the notion of phase, a sentence which gives rise to the violation of tensed-S condition is excluded as an instance of improper movement.
