초록

In this paper it is argued that there is merged on vP-Spec of the same clause as the associate. This argument contradicts with Bokovi’s (2002a, 2002b, 2007) proposal that expletives don’t move. I have tried to illustrate that the clause mate condition is attributed to the condition that an uninterpretable feature must be checked within its phase before Spellout. That is, there is a device to receive the unchecked uninterpretable Case feature of the associate, occupying the edge position of the same phase that the associate is merged. Finally, we have shown that some pieces of empirical evidence presented to support no movement analysis of expletives can be naturally accounted for under the movement analysis. I conclude that there is a syntactic object to allow indefinite subjects to remain structurally low without any movement, complying with feature checking system.

Abstract

In this paper it is argued that there is merged on vP-Spec of the same clause as the associate. This argument contradicts with Bokovi’s (2002a, 2002b, 2007) proposal that expletives don’t move. I have tried to illustrate that the clause mate condition is attributed to the condition that an uninterpretable feature must be checked within its phase before Spellout. That is, there is a device to receive the unchecked uninterpretable Case feature of the associate, occupying the edge position of the same phase that the associate is merged. Finally, we have shown that some pieces of empirical evidence presented to support no movement analysis of expletives can be naturally accounted for under the movement analysis. I conclude that there is a syntactic object to allow indefinite subjects to remain structurally low without any movement, complying with feature checking system.
