• W56416097 abstract "The aim of this thesis is to provide a detailed analysis of certain syntacticproperties of Complementisers (C), formulated within the Minimalistframework (Chomsky 1993, Brody 1993). In particular, I discuss three typesof syntactic phenomena where the C position is crucially involved. In chapter1 I provide a brief discussion of the theoretical framework and an overviewof the data. In chapter 2 I discuss that-t phenomena. In languages likeEnglish subject extraction from a position adjacent to C yieldsungrammaticality (the that-t effect). This is due to a violation of the EmptyCategory Principle (ECP). I argue that an analysis distinguishing betweenproper and non-proper head governors (cf. Rizzi 1990) cannot hold within theminimalist framework. Assuming that that can be an expletive (Lasnik andSaito 1984, Law 1991a&b), there are two possible chains to be formed: oneby moving I-to-C (C is realised as zero) and the other by coindexing C and I(C is realised as that). In long subject extraction, I must move to C so thatit c-commands the subject trace. In subject relatives, on the other hand, thereis subject short movement. Thus I and C can only form a chain undercoindexation. If I moves to C, then a configuration is created where both theOperator and its variable end up in the same minimal domain. Thus theOperator cannot be 'ordered' with respect to its trace and the result isungrammatical. I call this the Ordering effect.In chapter 3 I discuss factive complements. In particular, I considerfactivity as a property of the complement clause, specifically of its C. I arguethat C in factives bears some feature specification which: (a) derives thesemantics of factive complements and (b) blocks adjunct extraction. I arguethat the different locality properties of factive complements in Modern Greek(MG) and English can be captured on the basis of different features on theC head. In particular, MG possesses a special C for factives (pu vs. the nonfactiveoti) which, I argue, is characterised as [+definite]. The strongislandhood of MG factives is then attributed to definiteness in the same waythat definite NP's are opaque to any kind of extraction. As for English, Iassume, following Hegarty (1992b), that C is specified for a F(amiliarity)feature. The operator status of a [+F] C is enough to block adjunct extractiononly.Finally, in chapter 4 I discuss the subjunctive. With respect to MG Iargue that the empty C triggers movement of the na+V complex (an instanceof I-to-C movement) according to the principle of Full Interpretation. Iassume, following Manzini (1994b), that the subjunctive I is licensed by asentential operator and forms a dependency of the (Op,... ,I) type. Epistemicpredicates license the subjunctive because they can be implicitly modal(Veloudis 1985). Moreover, I argue that the presence of an expletive T withepistemic modality allows for independent time reference in the na-clause.With respect to the phenomenon of disjoint reference in Romance, I arguethat this is due to the presence of an expletive C, while in the Balkansubjunctives coreference is possible due to the availability of I-to-C movement." @default.
