The purpose of this paper is to provide a possible solution on the problem within the Linear Correspondence Axiom (LCA) in Kayne (1994). For this purpose, I will remark some problematic issues about the claim that traces should be disregarded as far as linearlization is concerned. In Chomsky (1994, 1995), reformulating Kayne's (1994) LCA by means of bare phrase structure theory, he proposes two ways to incorporate LCA into the Minimalist framework and to circumvent the problem raised tin the order between the head and the complement. However, these proposals are contradictory in the point that there is no concept of trace in his framework. Also, there is another contradiction in that neither verbs nor objects in English never move overtly. Thus, the LCA does not apply to these elements. Here, if we assume that Spec-head-complement order is universal with the view of the Minimalist framework, Chomsky's stipulation is not certain. Consequently, the word order cannot be determined by the LCA, so I will propose the following two principles, Chain Formation for PF-computation and Phonetic Realization of a Chain, as a way to resolve the problem.
