초록

This paper explores the properties of sentential subject CPs. The status of sentential subject CPs has been controversial in the literature. We assume that sentential subject CPs have a dual status: topics or real subjects. To derive such dual property of sentential subject CPs, we adopt Chomsky’s parallel movement approach. When the sentential subject CP functions as topics, the CP moves both to the subject and topic positions simultaneously. However, the CP has a role of a real subject, it just moves to the subject position of TP to check φ-feature of T.

Abstract

This paper explores the properties of sentential subject CPs. The status of sentential subject CPs has been controversial in the literature. We assume that sentential subject CPs have a dual status: topics or real subjects. To derive such dual property of sentential subject CPs, we adopt Chomsky’s parallel movement approach. When the sentential subject CP functions as topics, the CP moves both to the subject and topic positions simultaneously. However, the CP has a role of a real subject, it just moves to the subject position of TP to check φ-feature of T.
