초록
Since null Case was identified to account for the syntactic behavior of PRO in the early days of the Minimalist Program, there has been a vast amount of research on this covert nominal. However, the majority of researchers have dealt with various issues focused on controlled PRO rather than arbitrary PRO. This paper proposes a unified approach to null Case assignment for PRO, while arguing that both arbitrary PRO and controlled PRO get null Case in exactly the same fashion under the probe-and-goal theory. The proposed analysis relies on the feature-based classification of complementizers whose phi-features play a central role via the mechanism of feature inheritance from C to T in determining what type of Case is assigned to the subject as well as what pattern of clause emerges in the derivation.
