Two theories of movement have been proposed to capture properties of displacement in natural language - thetracetheory and thecopytheory. These theories differ in their assumptions regarding the lexical contentfulness of an object left behind by movement. Capitalizing on this difference, the present two-part article scrutinizes predictions made by the two theories to investigate movement properties. In Part I of the article, exploring facts from reconstruction and ellipsis, we establish the generalization that A'-movement obligatory leaves behind a copy of a moved element, but A-movement only optionally does
