- Abstract
- This study focuses on the implications of the acceptability contrast of the locative inversion (LI) and presentational there insertion (PTI) constructions when considering some recent accounts of Extended Projection Principle (EPP) effects (see, among others, Chomsky 1995, 2000, Kim 2002, Lasnik 2001). For this purpose, we use Kim and Lee's (to appear) acceptability judgment test composed of LI and PTI constructions, which was administered to native English speaking subjects. Results show judgment contrasts and confirm the slightly degraded nature of the LI constructions. In regard to the theoretical importance of the EPP, why perceptions of the contrasts differ is captured through a theoretical analysis.
