초록

In English T’ must be merged with a pronouncible constituent in accordance with the Extended Projection Principle (EPP). Since T consists of Tense and Agr, it can be said that either Tense or Agr has the EPP. Unlike finite T, non-finite T has no Agr, but it is known to display an EPP effect. If so, it appears to be logically plausible that Tense, but not Agr, has the EPP feature. However, this paper claims that it is Agr that has the EPP. I propose that the EPP effect of a non-finite T originates from the fact that Tense has an uninterpretable person feature, which is fundamentally different from the EPP of Agr in that it can be deleted even by a covert constituent. This claim is shown to elucidate various types of non-DP subject constructions and to resolve a potential problem with Chomsky’s (2013) C-to-T feature inheritance approach.
