I adopt thederivation-and-evaluation model of grammar, according to whichChomsky's computational system (CHL) functions asa generator which produces candidates that are evaluated in anoptimality theoretic manner, and it is shown that the strong/weakdistinction can be captured by assuming an interaction between aconstraint that disfavors movement (STAY) and a constraint(family) F that requires checking of the formal features. Thediscussion of Scandinavian Object Shift shows that this is not justa reformulation of the original distinction, but has various desirableempirical consequences. The article concludes with a discussion ofScrambling of the Dutch/German type.
