. In this paper I argue that EPP effects are of two different types, NP‐movement and the Filled Left Edge Effect. While NP‐movement is driven in Narrow Syntax by the computation of Person, some Filled Left Edge phenomena, including Icelandic Stylistic Fronting, seem to take place in PF. Even so, these phenomena also reflect the clausal computation, that is, the matching processes that value clause internal elements in relation to features of the speech event.
