In Jordanian Arabic (JA), we distinguish strong resumption (SR) (strong pronouns and epithets) from weak resumption (WR) (clitics and doubled clitics). SR has all diagnostic properties of movement: 1) reconstruction effects appear in no island contexts; and 2) presence of cyclicity effects. Therefore, I argue that SR admit a movement analysis (Aoun et al. 2001, Lebeaux 1990). However, WR does not have diagnostic properties of movement: 1) reconstruction effects appear in island contexts; and 2) absence of cyclicity effects. Consequently, I support the idea that WR admit an ellipsis analysis (see also Malkawi 2009) but only PF ellipsis analysis (Winkler 2006) in the following way: reconstruction with negative binding condition (condition C) applies in Ponological Form whereas, reconstruction with positive binding conditions (BVA condition) applies in Logical Form.
