Abstract
In this paper it is proposed that there is merged on vP-SPEC; that there inherits an uninterpretable Case feature to be checked via linking to the associate; and that linking between there and the associate must be done in the same vP. Under these proposals Agree can still be maintained as a proper mechanism of feature checking in there constructions. It is easily accounted for why an NP argument on TP-SPEC is ambiguous between the specific and the unspecific reading whereas an NP argument in the corresponding there constructions has only the unspecific reading. It is also systematically accounted for why a raised subject can antecede an anaphor or license a polarity item in the higher clause, whereas the associate of a raised expletive cannot. Moreover, nothing need be said concerning the relative cheapness of Merge over Move.
