Abstract

In recent years, there have been some modifications to x-bar rules that have changed the shape of tree diagrams considerably. This paper is an attempt to evaluate one of the latest hypotheses of Government and Binding Theory dealing with the structural relations between sentence elements, specially the subject. Sportiche (1988) and Koopman and Sportiche (1991) have dealt with the canonical position of the subject in the d-structure of the sentence, and as opposed to the prevalent analysis within x-bar theory, have argued that the subject originates in VP. In their view, the spec-IP position for the subject is only a derived position resulting from an NP-movement operation known as (subject) raising. This hypothesis is called "VP-internal subject hypothesis." It seems that Sportiche's claim (1988) that the subject originates in VP, which is based on the movement of floating quantifiers in English and French sentences, is not compatible with Persian data. The writer believes that in those Persian sentences with floating quantifiers, the subject is raised from spec-IP into spec- Cp by NP-movement operation and this can be considered only a simple process of topicalization. So the s-structure position of the subject in Persian cannot be considered a derived position resulting from subject raising.
