 note = {This paper explores the syntactic structure of English It -Cleft constructions and elucidates a
potential problem related to clefted constituents with the combination of the recent cartographic
approach and the labeling algorithm. Assuming the Criterial Freezing postulated by Rizzi (2006), the fact
that the clefted constituents of It -Cleft constructions can be further extracted from the clefted position
presents a potential problem to the conventional cartographic approach. In this paper, it is argued that
this problem can be resolved under the concept of Maximality put forward by Rizzi (2015) and Chomsky’s
(2013, 2015) labeling algorithm. In particular, the timing of the application of the labeling algorithm is
crucial for solving this problem; the labeling algorithm should be applied at the phase level. Due to this,
the clefted constituents can be further extracted in accordance with the concept of Maximality. For the
syntactic structure of It -Cleft constructions, this paper will argue that the cleft clause is adjoined to the
PredP in the copular sentence, and the (null) operator movement occurs within the cleft clause. This
structure is similar to that of Parasitic Gap constructions, so this paper will illustrate a common property
of both constructions.},
