This paper investigates whether V-to-T movement is attested in Old Russian, by examining word order between verbs and other elements such as overt subjects and low adverbs. The position of the be-auxiliary is also examined as a diagnostics of lexical verb movement. Colloquial Old Russian reflected in <Old Novgorod birch bark letters> and <Russkaja pravda> does not feature V-to-T movement just like Modern Russian, while formal varieties of Old Russian in chronicles show mixed patterns. Given that Old Russian has been analyzed as a consistent null subject language with rich agreement morphology in all tenses, the lack of V-to-T movement in colloquial Old Russian implies that the EPP is not met by verb raising to T although null subjects are conditioned by rich subject agreement. This conclusion also weakens the Rich Agreement Hypothesis in that rich agreement morphology does not trigger V-to-T movement.
Abstract
This paper investigates whether V-to-T movement is attested in Old Russian, by examining word order between verbs and other elements such as overt subjects and low adverbs. The position of the be-auxiliary is also examined as a diagnostics of lexical verb movement. Colloquial Old Russian reflected in <Old Novgorod birch bark letters> and <Russkaja pravda> does not feature V-to-T movement just like Modern Russian, while formal varieties of Old Russian in chronicles show mixed patterns. Given that Old Russian has been analyzed as a consistent null subject language with rich agreement morphology in all tenses, the lack of V-to-T movement in colloquial Old Russian implies that the EPP is not met by verb raising to T although null subjects are conditioned by rich subject agreement. This conclusion also weakens the Rich Agreement Hypothesis in that rich agreement morphology does not trigger V-to-T movement.
