(9) Copy φ (provisional) (cf. Oltra Massuet 1999 for a similar formulation)
Mark the abstract agreement (the feature linking between T° and the goal DP)
morphologically by adding an φ-position to T° and copying the corresponding values of
the goal DP.

4 Cf. Pomino (2005); cf. Embick & Noyer (2004) for a slightly divergent arrangement of Lowering,
Linearisation and Dislocation. See also Trommer (2003) who, adopting the framework of Minimalist
Distributed Morphology, argues that the operations Impoverishment, Fusion and Fission are reducible to one
single operation, Vocabulary Insertion. However, for this hypothesis, he has to assume several, sometimes
highly specific, phonologically empty vocabulary items, that is, zero morphemes.
