초록
The primary goal of this paper is to show the proper syntactic position for the generation of the expletive there. We advocate the "low origin" hypothesis in which it is argued that the expletive there is merged in the specifier position of v and agree locally with its associate NP. We employ the strict successive cyclicity to explain the peculiar behaviors of the expletive constructions. We also argue that the expletive there has Case and its associate NP bears partitive Case, providing a way to dispense with the EPP or Inverse Case Filter.
Abstract
The primary goal of this paper is to show the proper syntactic position for the generation of the expletive there. We advocate the "low origin" hypothesis in which it is argued that the expletive there is merged in the specifier position of v and agree locally with its associate NP. We employ the strict successive cyclicity to explain the peculiar behaviors of the expletive constructions. We also argue that the expletive there has Case and its associate NP bears partitive Case, providing a way to dispense with the EPP or Inverse Case Filter.
