Assignment 20: Missing Subjects 1. If our grammar does not yet generate sentences like (1)-(3) below, propose a minimal change that will allow such sentences to be generated (discuss any complications): (1) Harvey wants his wife to own a Porsche. (2) Harvey expects his sons to be admired by women. (3) Harvey likes for his monkey to wash him. 2. Now look at these: (4) Harvey wants to own a Porsche. (5) Harvey expects to be admired by women. (6) Harvey likes to wash himself. What is 'to' in these sentences? How many Theta-roles does 'want' assign? In (4), what are they? How many Theta-roles does 'own' assign? In (4), what are they? Considering carefully what the sentences mean, propose an explicit analysis, i.e. an amendment of the grammar so that they will be generated. 3. What is wrong with (7)? (7) ? Beer expects to be at the party. Can you account for the badness of (8)? (8) * There expects to be beer at the party. Can you explain why (9) and (10) don't mean the same thing? (9) Harvey expects to be admired by women. (10) Women expect to admire Harvey. Discuss clause-boundedness.
