초록

The purpose of this paper is to propose that the Case licensing by TP analysis on Clausal Gerund(CG) is more powerful than that of CP analysis. In TP analysis, if the T in CG checks the remnant [F] on v/T in the matrix clause, the T in CG can check its own uCase as well as that of CG's subject. But this approach has some defects. First, this analysis is limited to only English. Second, -ingGER feature in Romanian language raises to C, thus CG should be considered as CP. Third, it is against the general principle of minimalist program that the analysis considers the φ-role as a feature. Since a lexical subject can occur in non-finite clauses in some languages, it is a phasal head not tense or φ-feature that licenses Case. In such languages Case valuation is determined by feature specification in a phase, and null expletive as a probe plays an important role in Case valuation of non-finite clauses. Applying this approach to English CG, a null D head (including affixial and uCase feature) selects non-verbal C because of sharing requirement condition on merged heads. The non-finite C will transfer its uD feature to the proxy T. This feature probes for a DP, ensuring that the subject enters an A-chain with the results of an Accusative or Nominative value. Clause -typing is satisfied by Merge of the GER/PART feature in C and the C-T relationship is guaranteed by the affixial nature of -ing which surfaces on the lexical verbs. However, there remains some problems to be solved

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose that the Case licensing by TP analysis on Clausal Gerund(CG) is more powerful than that of CP analysis. In TP analysis, if the T in CG checks the remnant [F] on v/T in the matrix clause, the T in CG can check its own uCase as well as that of CG's subject. But this approach has some defects. First, this analysis is limited to only English. Second, -ingGER feature in Romanian language raises to C, thus CG should be considered as CP. Third, it is against the general principle of minimalist program that the analysis considers the φ-role as a feature. Since a lexical subject can occur in non-finite clauses in some languages, it is a phasal head not tense or φ-feature that licenses Case. In such languages Case valuation is determined by feature specification in a phase, and null expletive as a probe plays an important role in Case valuation of non-finite clauses. Applying this approach to English CG, a null D head (including affixial and uCase feature) selects non-verbal C because of sharing requirement condition on merged heads. The non-finite C will transfer its uD feature to the proxy T. This feature probes for a DP, ensuring that the subject enters an A-chain with the results of an Accusative or Nominative value. Clause -typing is satisfied by Merge of the GER/PART feature in C and the C-T relationship is guaranteed by the affixial nature of -ing which surfaces on the lexical verbs. However, there remains some problems to be solved
