An analysis is proposed in terms of local intra-derivational optimization (Heck and Müller, 2007), borrowing concepts from diverse work in recent years: Stroik (2009) (Repel-based movement), Caha (2009) (Case as a hierarchical functional sequence in syntax), and Reinhart (2003) (Thematic Roles as composed of primitive binary features). Such an approach improves upon a purely Minimalistic one by providing an account for the generation of a possessor carrying Dative case, deriving asymmetries in island effects, avoiding a look-ahead problem, and suggesting a simpler account for the diachronic change from earlier forms of Hebrew.
