초록
There has been a complicated debate about the sentential subjects. Even though the sentential subject construction is real, lots of linguists have tried to argue for its non-real nature. However, in this paper, it has been suggested and supported that the sentential subject is real and it is a representation of DP, rather than CP. Under the assumption that a complementizer functions as the determiner head, The structural complication can be eliminated and the lexical specification of CP can be enriched to contain the definiteness and the referential content. It has been argued that some other categories than DP can occur as the subject only if they are referentially specified. The apparent ungrammaticality of ‘That the earth is round seems’ does not come from the argument that the sentential subject should be topicalized. Rather it violates the lexical properties of the related verbs or the proper government condition or the theta-criterion. From such a view, it is justified that the lexical nature of CP and DP are distinguished in relation to the nouniness, definiteness, referential content, projection principle, etc. Finally, without the empty categorical specification, the minimalist view has been maintained as CP can be alternating with DP.
Abstract
There has been a complicated debate about the sentential subjects. Even though the sentential subject construction is real, lots of linguists have tried to argue for its non-real nature. However, in this paper, it has been suggested and supported that the sentential subject is real and it is a representation of DP, rather than CP. Under the assumption that a complementizer functions as the determiner head, The structural complication can be eliminated and the lexical specification of CP can be enriched to contain the definiteness and the referential content. It has been argued that some other categories than DP can occur as the subject only if they are referentially specified. The apparent ungrammaticality of ‘That the earth is round seems’ does not come from the argument that the sentential subject should be topicalized. Rather it violates the lexical properties of the related verbs or the proper government condition or the theta-criterion. From such a view, it is justified that the lexical nature of CP and DP are distinguished in relation to the nouniness, definiteness, referential content, projection principle, etc. Finally, without the empty categorical specification, the minimalist view has been maintained as CP can be alternating with DP.
