Isi artikel

This article is a comprehensive critique of the reductionist view of control advocated in recent minimalist studies, most notably Hormstein 1999. The core of this view is the claim that obligatory control should be collapsed with raising, and nonobligatory control with pronominal coreference. I argue that Hornstein' s theory (a) overgenerates nonexist- ing structures and interpretations, (b) fails to derive a wide range of well-known raising/control contrasts, and (c) involves unstated stipula- tions belying the appeal to Occam's razor.
