영문 초록

The appearance of C is closely related to a subject license since TPs selected by C generally involve the subject. It is C-T feature inheritance (Chomsky 2008) that guarantees and formalizes this relation. According to C-T feature inheritance, uninterpretable features (i.e., Tense and Agree(φ)) of T originate from C and they must be transmitted to T before the complement TP of C is transferred. This squib focuses on providing some cases that Tense or Agree(φ) features on C are not transmitted to T in English, thus remaining on C.
