9. I NTRODUCTION Recall that we postulated multiple agreement for expletive there in the passive voice, i.e. agreement with the complement of V. So why can’t an active transitive verb agree with its complement? i. He has arrested them. (44) ii. *He have arrested them. Because there must be agreement in accusative case between the transitive verb and its complement, which makes the complement’s phi features inactive after it takes place, see next slide. 11/12/12 9 ANTH3590/7590, Harry Howard, Tulane

15. I NTRODUCTION The infinitival to of raising/ECM/defective clauses has an EPP feature. See Radford for evidence It also carries a person feature, but not a number feature. See Radford for evidence Summary: Feature composition of T in English (60) i. T carries an EPP feature and a person feature in all types of clauses. ii. T adds a number feature in CPs, so TPs do not have one. 11/12/12 15 ANTH3590/7590, Harry Howard, Tulane
