This article deals with the issue of Scrambling as a syntactic phenomenon which involves the base generation of scrambled elements in their surface positions and their LF movement to positions where they receive theta-roles. In the first section the basic dichotomy in the current approaches towards Scrambling will be analyzed, namely (i) the movement and (ii) the base generation approach. According to (i), there is one underlying word order and the variety of alternate word order arrangements in a clause is the result of A- vs. A-bar movement. According to (ii), there is not one basic order for constituents and the variable word order is the result of free generation of constituents in an arbitrary order. In the second part we adopt the idea of Bayer / Komfilt (1994) that Scrambling of unfocused NPs is not due to movement (or Attract alpha) at all but rather is base generated and a subject NP can also be licensed inside of a VP.
