SECONDARY PREDICATES, VP-INTERNAL SUBJECTS, AND MUTUAL C-COMMAND

DOI 3 Citations 3 References Open Access

Description

This paper investigates the syntactic nature and behavior of three types of secondary predicates. We identify their syntactic positions based on some syntactic evidence. We explain certain data in terms of the crossing constraint, or Pesetsky's Path Containment Condition. We assume VP-internal subjects and Reinhart's definition of c-command, and show that various facts concerning the behavior of secondary predicates can be elegantly explained as a consequence of the interaction of general constraints such as the mutual c-command restriction and the crossing constraint.
