초록
Prepositions are commonly assumed to be independent Case assigners for their complement. Pointing out some conceptual problems with this traditional view, the author argues for the necessity to postulate a shell labeled as pP above PP. The proposed phrase is syntactically analogous to vP in that its head called little p carries uninterpretable phi-features and establishes an Agree relation with the DP complement of a preposition. Case assignment takes place as a result of this operation in the same pattern as v assigns Case to the internal argument of a verb. Constructed on the basis of the Locus Principle, this theory can achieve enhanced explanatory adequacy in accounting for the phrases headed by multiple prepositions as well as the prepositions that assign no Case.
Abstract
Prepositions are commonly assumed to be independent Case assigners for their complement. Pointing out some conceptual problems with this traditional view, the author argues for the necessity to postulate a shell labeled as pP above PP. The proposed phrase is syntactically analogous to vP in that its head called little p carries uninterpretable phi-features and establishes an Agree relation with the DP complement of a preposition. Case assignment takes place as a result of this operation in the same pattern as v assigns Case to the internal argument of a verb. Constructed on the basis of the Locus Principle, this theory can achieve enhanced explanatory adequacy in accounting for the phrases headed by multiple prepositions as well as the prepositions that assign no Case.
