I will argue in this paper that Case features need not be checked until LF (cf. Chomsky 1992). I will do so by giving evidence for LF movement in Japanese that is exclusively motivated by Case. As we explore the evidence for this movement, we will see that similar facts in English, unnoticed until now, provide evidence for movement of the embedded subject in ECM construction to the Spec of AGRoP of the higher clause. The evidence in Japanese for Case-driven LF movement comes from the so-called “nominative/genitive (ga/no) Conversion” construction. Certain complications that arise from the analysis of this construction lead us to a new definition of “minimal link.” It is based on a revised notion of Chomsky’s (1992) proposal for relativized minimality, in particular, the notion of “equidistance.” The condition I propose, the Minimal Link Condition, “relativizes” relativized minimality. Under the Minimal Link Condition, it is not sufficient for movement to be to the closest potential landing site. The movement cannot cross a position that contains an unchecked morphological feature that is the same in type as the feature associated with the moved element. For example, suppose that a and ß are equidistant from g in the following structure.
