The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Late Merger of Degree Clauses (2004, background): “Moreover, not only are -er and the degree clause nonadjacent in the majority of cases, more often than not they may not even appear together as a constituent that excludes the gradable predicate (e.g., tall).”
The Raising Analysis of Relative Clauses: Evidence from Adjectival Modification (2002, background): “Fox (2001) introduces Trace Conversion, an operation that converts copies of a movement chain into interpretable objects.”
Wholesale Late Merger: Beyond the A/ Distinction (2009, methodology): “However, once we adopt an independently motivated method of interpreting movement chains under the copy theory of movement (Fox 2002), we can control the applicability of late merger in a somewhat different way than Lebeaux does.”
