[…] in surface structure, verbal constructions differ from nominal and adjectival constructions in form. I assume that the reason derives from Case theory. The crucial idea is that every noun with a phonetic matrix must have case; i.e., we assume the principle (5): *[N α], where α includes a phonetic matrix, if N has no case.
