We propose that the specifier of a VP-external functional projection-Tense Phrase-may host subjects NPs under certain conditiond. We present empirical evidence that nonspecific subjectNPs that have elsewhere been analyzed as remaining Vp-internal occupy this position. We also affer theoritical arguments that transitive subjects may never remain internal to the VP at S-Structure in Languages for which the Extended Projection Principle holds. Extending work by Bures (1992, 1993), we argue further that (Spec, TP) is implicated as a subject position in NP object shift constructions. Parametric avalability of this one position accounts for a cluster of properties within the Germanic languages.
