We take as our point of departure the view that any assumptions placed on morphology have to include the very basic assumption that there is a phonological/semantic-syntactic cut between (i) what is considered the underlying abstract scheme of a morpheme (i.e., the role the morpheme plays across its semantic-syntactic field, and (ii) what phonological shape the abstract scheme takes in certain environments. We further assume that all instances of morphology, being quintessential abstract in nature, entail (i) some level of abstraction, and (ii) that abstraction, by our linguistics definition, entails some amount of a movement analogy. Hence word order, compounding, derivational and inflectional morphologies all entail some level of movement. However the family of movement is spread over a cline. On one extreme pole of the 'Move spectrum', we follow Roeper (2009) and show that 'distant move' blocks transfer to interpretation and thus allows an item/phase to survive and move-up the syntactic tree in order to acquire more abstract feature specificity. On the low range of the spectrum, we show how 'local move' immediately gets sent to interpretation and thus secures a more thematic/semantic reading.
