초록
This paper examines Raising Constructions from a cross-linguistic perspective. There seem to be two types of patterns; in English-type languages, only the embedded subject is allowed to move to the matrix Spec TP, while in Icelandic-type languages, only the experiencer is allowed to move to the matrix Spec TP. Regarding these two patterns, I pursue the possibility that both the experiencer and the embedded subject are assigned structural Case. I further assume that the Case checking ability of the little v or the applicative head may be suppressed. Whether the Case checking ability of the little v or the applicative verb is suppressed is subject to cross-linguistic variation. In Icelandic-type languages, the Case checking ability of the little v is suppressed (Burzio, 1986), while the applicative verb retains its Case checking ability. Therefore, the Case feature on the experiencer is checked by the matrix T and the experiencer further moves to Spec TP. In English-type languages, the Case checking ability of the applicative head is percolated to the little v. Therefore, little v receives the Case checking ability from the applicative verb. Since the experiencer becomes inactive due to its Case features checked, the embedded subject is valued as nominative by the finite T and is further attracted to Spec TP.
Abstract
This paper examines Raising Constructions from a cross-linguistic perspective. There seem to be two types of patterns; in English-type languages, only the embedded subject is allowed to move to the matrix Spec TP, while in Icelandic-type languages, only the experiencer is allowed to move to the matrix Spec TP. Regarding these two patterns, I pursue the possibility that both the experiencer and the embedded subject are assigned structural Case. I further assume that the Case checking ability of the little v or the applicative head may be suppressed. Whether the Case checking ability of the little v or the applicative verb is suppressed is subject to cross-linguistic variation. In Icelandic-type languages, the Case checking ability of the little v is suppressed (Burzio, 1986), while the applicative verb retains its Case checking ability. Therefore, the Case feature on the experiencer is checked by the matrix T and the experiencer further moves to Spec TP. In English-type languages, the Case checking ability of the applicative head is percolated to the little v. Therefore, little v receives the Case checking ability from the applicative verb. Since the experiencer becomes inactive due to its Case features checked, the embedded subject is valued as nominative by the finite T and is further attracted to Spec TP.
