Abstract
This paper argues in favor of the treatment of Long Head Movement on a par with phrasal movement by analyzing the Long Head Movement of bare verbs in Kawahíva (Tupí-Guaraní; Brazil) as A-bar movement to Spec,CP. In itself a theoretically significant issue, the analysis proposed has a much greater significance: it gives an account for the LHM by appealing to a familiar tool, the feature [pred] (Massam, 2000) with the EPP property.
