Isi artikel

Chomsky (1995) proposes that the 0-system and the checking system form two complementary modules. As a consequence both subjects and objects must form nontrivial chains to check their formal features with a functional category (T and v, respectively). I argue that objects and exceptional-Case-marking subjects check their formal features with a lexical verb, whose domain is therefore both 0-role assigning and feature checking. I show that discarding the complementarity as- sumption in this manner results in a more "bare" theory of the compu- tational system as well as several empirical advantages.
