초록
English allows to extrapose a clausal element to the sentential position, leaving the expletive pronoun it. As such, English object extraposition appears to be a simple process, but a careful examination reveals much more complicated variations. In particular, we observe that there are cases where the expletive is obligatory, optional, and prohibited. The present analysis looks into the formal properties of English object extraposition and provides a way of capturing such variations relying on the grammatical interfaces among argument structure and realization, lexical information, functional constraints, and so forth.
