Abstract

Considering the obligatory co-reference of the null subject of complement clause with the matrix direct object in sentences like (1) below, the sentence seems to involve object control structure within Government and Binding theory (Chomsky, 1981). Leila MaryamI ra va da r kard (ke) [el dars bexa nad]. Based on the Vacuous Movement Hypothesis, I show that Hashemipour"s analysis about the syntactic nature of the null subject (of complement clause) in such sentences is PROblematic, as. the null subject is not a wh-trace. Since the null subject is obligatorily dependent on an antecedent in the main clause and since we cannot replace it with an NP or PROnoun, I claim that the null subject is a "PRO". Adopting the VP Internal Subject Hypothesis (Koopman & Sportiche, 1998), and following Radford"s PROposal regarding the subject Position, I claim that "PRO" in the related sentences is in the Spec-VP of the complement clause. Following Karimi (1989) and Darzi (1996), I suppose that Persian verbs typically govern their internal arguments to the right, as far as the direction of writing is concerned so that they cannot govern the position of Spec-VP on the left. On the other hand, the Spec-VP cannot be governed by finite Infl of the complement clause. Following Hashemipour (1989) I suppose that, in Persian, Infl is on the right of the VP. As the directionality of government in Persian phrasal categories is to the right, finite Infl of the complement clause cannot govern into the embedded Spec-VP position. It means that "PRO" in the Spec-VP is ungoverned. Since "PRO" needs no case, it doesn"t have to move to the Spec-IP of complement clause (which is in the government domain of the embedded Infl). Therefore, PRO Theorem is not violated in Persian.
