By examining ϕ-agreement in relative clauses, this paper investigates the relation between syntax and morphology in terms of the person feature. English relativized subjects appear to have different phi-features for the purposes of subject-verb agreement and binding relations. The verbal morphology uniformly displays 3rd person whereas reflexive binding shows 1st/2nd person in addition to 3rd person. If subject extraction must trigger an invariable verbal form as Ouhalla (1993) argues, the binding alternations cannot be accounted for. This paper proposes dual properties of the person feature based on Harley and Ritter’s (2002) feature geometry, and argues that relativized subjects may not obtain both properties of the person feature from the head noun via Agree. This partial agreement causes morphosyntactic variation in English and cross-linguistically in Distributed Morphology (DM). The current analysis demonstrates that referential and morphological (under)specifications are kept separate under the cons...

相关条款中人物特征的（不足）说明

通过研究相关从句中的ϕ-协定，本文从人的特征出发研究了语法和形态之间的关系。出于主语-动词一致和绑定关系的目的，英语相对化的主语似乎具有不同的phi功能。言语形态统一显示第三人称，反身绑定显示第三人称第一/第二人称。如果主体提取必须像Ouhalla（1993）所主张的那样触发不变的言语形式，则不能解释具有约束力的交替。本文基于哈雷和里特（Harley and Ritter，2002）的特征几何提出了人形特征的双重属性，并认为相对论的主体可能无法通过同意从头部名词获得人形的两个属性。此部分约定会导致英语的形态句法变异以及“分布式形态学”（DM）中的跨语言变异。当前的分析表明，参考和形态（不足）规范在考虑因素的影响下是分开的。
