<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Feature checking''' is a Notion in [[checking theory]]. Feature checking is a relation between two elements such that one or more designated features they share are eliminated.<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
<br />
in ''who did you see'' the +wh feature of ''who'' is checked in the specifier position of CP (spec,CP) against the +wh feature of C. If ''who'' or C do not check their +wh feature, the derivation [[crash]]es (cf. *''you saw who'').<br />
