Jung, Duk-Ho & Kim, Jeong-Seok. 2011. On the Light Preposition Hypothesis. Korean Journal of Linguistics, 36-1, 243-260. This paper deals with the hypothesis for light preposition projections in English. We argue that the null light preposition p is responsible for licensing accusative Case of the complement DPs in PPs, extending Chomsky’s (1995) argument for the null light verb v. Following Svenonius (2003), we claim that there are lexical instances of light prepositions in English, such as from and to, which can motivate the postulation of pP, contrary to some agreement projection (Bošković 2004b). As an extension, we argue that small clause PPs are in fact IPs headed by a null inflection with an obligatory [+EPP]. (Korea University)
