<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Function Chain''' is the associated sequence of [[GF]]s of the members of the [[chain]] created by movement.<br />
<br />
=== Example ===<br />
<br />
in (i) ''John'' is assigned the function chain (GF1, GF2, GF3), where GF1 = [NP,IP1], GF2 = [NP, IP2] and GF3 = [NP,VP]. This entails that ''John'' is assigned the theta-role of the object of ''killed''.<br />
<br />
(i) [<sub>IP1</sub> John<sub>i</sub> was believed [<sub>IP2</sub> t<sub>i</sub> to have been [<sub>VP</sub> killed t<sub>i</sub>]]]<br />
