Why Things May Move: Evidence from (Circumstantial) Control
نویسنده
چکیده
In the Minimalist Program, movement is considered to be driven by feature checking. An element moves in order to check a feature of its own or a feature on the target (Lasnik 1995). This paper presents evidence from Adjunct Control in two South Asian languages, Telugu and Sinhala, to show that movement may also be triggered by the feature requirements of the head of the maximal projection that dominates the moving element. The analysis, if correct, may be a solution to a major problem faced by the Movement Theory of Control: what triggers the movement of the subordinate subject in a control structure?

متن کاملThe Possible Role of Starlings in the Spread of Tge in Pigs
Transmissible gastro-enteritis (TGE) is an economically important viral disease of pigs in Britain, particularly in East Anglia. Starlings are often abundant at pig farms where they feed on pig food. The close association between starlings and pigs has led farmers to believe that starlings transmit TGE from one farm to another, but evidence has been circumstantial. The following study was desig...
