THE STATUS OF THE PROJECTION PRINCIPLE IN GOVERNMENT-BINDING THEORY

Published Article === The role of the Projection Principle within Chomsky's Government-Binding (GB) Theory is to preserve the subcategorisation properties of lexical items at all levels of syntactic representation, viz. D-structure, S-structure, and Lexical Form. Arguments have been made tha...
