Citazioni

The analysis of the I structures is the same whether the object is raised or not, or even in passive and raising expletives with subject in [Spec, T], as in (162) (translation of Icelandic examples from Jonas 1994 [Jonas, D. 1994. Clause structure expletives and verb movement. Ms., Harvard University]). (162) a. there have [TP some cakes [VP been baked "t" for the party]]; b. there seems [TP [subj someone] [IP "t" to be in the room]]. Let us refer to all of these as "multiple-subject constructions" (MSCs).

[…] the only form possible for MSCs (with or without overt object raising): Exp [Subj [T°max XP]].
