Sample text

Gerunds, unlike nominalizations, do not allow long-distance control without c-command: (44) a. John1’s mother2 supported the decision [PRO to vindicate himself1/herself2/oneself] b. John1’s mother2 supported deciding [PRO to vindicate herself/*himself/*oneself] (45) a. John’s mother was in favor of the refusal [PRO to vindicate himself/oneself/herself] b. John’s mother was in favor of refusing [PRO to vindicate herself/ *himself] The greater flexibility of nominalizations with respect to absence of c-command can be shown to be independent of control of the embedded subject.

The use of these three foil types allows for the pinpointing of any difficulties in comprehension, whether it be with determining who is doing the thinking (MR foils), with who is performing the action mentioned in the embedded clause (ER foils), or both (DR foils). On any given trial, the child was always presented with the correct picture and one of the three foil types. Each of these foil types was tested six times per condition. Each child thus saw 18 items for the think-condition, unraised-condition, and raised-condition (only 12 items were used for the active-control condition).

In light of raising in DP, objections to control as movement based on its absence should also be reevaluated. While a fuller understanding of control in DP awaits further study, the comparison of nominalizations with gerunds may suggest that control in DP is consistently of the obligatory variety and in this respect is compatible with the distribution of raising.
