“…Note that the presence of nominative Case marking on the subjunctive subject in the absence of a T node is not problematic if we assume that the true source of nominative Case is the +Fin head, in the spirit of Bianchi (2001) and Aygen (2006), among others.…”

“…(32) From a cross-linguistic perspective, the idea that a dependent clause is embedded within a nominal phrase headed by a silent element is not novel. On the one hand, there are multiple approaches that postulate the presence of a DP layer on top of the embedded CP in the subject/object position, (33a); see Roussou 1991, Farudi 2007, Hartman 2012, Kastner 2015, and Knyazev 2016 On the other hand, more complex analyses whereby the clause is embedded within a DP with a silent lexical N head, (33b), have been proposed by Lees (1965), Aygen (2002), and Maki and Uchibori (2008), to name a few. It has also been argued that at least some clauses embedded in NPs are modifiers and not complements, (33c); see Stowell 1981 I provide additional support for the analysis in (32) in §4.…”

“…It is well known that both tense and agreement features can occur on complementizers which are located under finiteness (Rizzi 1997); for example, tensed complementizers under finiteness are found in Irish (McCloskey 1996 ;Adger 2007), and complementizers are marked with agreement in West Flemish (Haegemann 1992). Using evidence from agreement paradigms in Turkish and related languages, Aygen (2006) suggests that epistemic modality too is located in the finiteness head. The characterization of finiteness suggested by Bianchi (2003) makes it possible to see why these things occur -they are all aspects of the speech event.…”
