Abstract This paper investigates the nature of successive cyclicity. Based on novel data from Avatime, this paper provides further evidence that successive cyclic A′-movement obligatorily transits through the vP region of all clauses between the extraction site and the landing site of the wh-expression. Evidence comes from pied-piping patterns related to wh-movement and pieces of complex verbal idioms.
