Q1) What are AP, IP, and [dot] as node-labels?
A1) AP = Adjective Phrase, IP = Inflectional Phrase, aka "S"...in the 90's and 00's, IPs changed to "TP"s ("T" for "tense"). As for the [dot], it appears to be something idiosyncratic to H&K.
Q2) What is "exportation"?
A2) no good answer/depends on context.
Q3) What's an "intervention effect"?
A3) This also depends, but think of "intervention" as "in between"; for example, when someone talks about negation and intervention, the question is whether the negation can take scope between two other scope-taking items in the sentence.
Q4) What about the semantics of "everything you like, I hate"?
A4) "everything you like" has been topicalized in this sentence; the underlying form should be "I hate everything (wh) you like." From that we can get "everything wh1 you like t1 is s.t. I hate it."
