This thesis proposes that there is a form of scrambling in Ukrainian that involves pervasive phonological movement as presented by Agbayani and Golston (2010a) for Classical Greek hyperbaton and applied to analyze scrambling in colloquial Russian by Henderer (2009). The evidence for phonological movement in Ukrainian includes (i) insensitivity of movement to syntactic constraints and semantic conditions that rely on syntactic relations, and (ii) sensitivity to phonology, including phonological constituency and prosodic constraints. This thesis proposes that this form of scrambling in Ukrainian is purely phonological in nature and involves movement of prosodic words (Split Scrambling) and phonological phrases (XP-Scrambling) rather than syntactic constituents.
