Notes to Chapter 3
Perlmutter (1983) contains arguments within a different theoretical framework favoring the existence of two levels of syntactic structure.
One qualification must be made to the claim that a zo is a diagnostic for a preverbal subject. Sentences like (i)–(ii), adapted from Gros (1984, p. 286) are possible.
Stump (1984) also offers reasons for rejecting the Case Theoretic and Binding Theoretic treatments of Breton agreement.
See the discussion in Borer (1981), Brody (1984), Chomsky (1981), (1982), and Sells (1984), among others.
