Abstract
This paper purposes to find out an alternative way for solving the murky problems concerning subject/object asymmetries and the that-trace effect within a minimalist framework. To this end, I make an LF-based approach to these problems, assuming that a recent theory of phase and LF may open up a clue to resolving this issue. The proposals in this paper for dealing with pure subject/object asymmetries suggest that though these are phenomena with different theoretical underpinnings, they have to be addressed even in the context of a minimalist theory. We see that a monostratal theory that tries to address the asymmetry occurring between wh-phrase subjects and non-subjects in English has left many problems unsolved. We also see that adjuncts pattern with subjects in extraction rather than with objects. I assume that, irrespective of the PIC, wh-phrases move directly into the matrix Spec of CP. Concerning the that-trace effect, I am in accordance with the idea put forward by Pesetsky and Torrego (2001).
