STUDY OF INVERTED SUBJECT IN FREE INVERSION AND ITS THAT-TRACE EFFECT
The inverted subject adjoins to VP.But his assumption is couched in a theoretical framework of a revised definition of ECP.That makes the analysis complicated and it betrays the principle of economy.The author of this paper proposed that the inverted Subject should right-adjoin to IP instead of VP.He applies many a testified principle and idea to verify his argument,including bounding nodes,barrier and the mechanism of γ-marking.Because in Italian the bounding nodes are CP and DP,IP is not a bounding nodes,as in English,so it is expected that adjunction to IP is language specific and the author tries to prove this assumption through the principles of barrier and the mechanism of γ-marking.The fact is that wh-phrase,in moving out of IP,adjoins to IP first,for adjunction to VP cannot account for the phenomenon that a wh-phrase extracting out of a wh-island,but no Subjection violation arises in Italian..
