| Abstract: | This paper deals with the question of subject positions in Nicoterese (VV). Recalling previous analyses of subject positions, it will be determined whether the canonical preverbal position ([Spec, TP] in the generative literature is available to host subjects in Nicoterese, thereby satisfying the EPP requirement, or whether, as has been proposed in several previous analyses, notably Alexiadou and Anagnostopoulou (1998), all preverbal subjects are left-dislocated – a property argued to be intrinsically associated with Null Subjects Languages (NSLs). Two significant questions will be addressed: first whether subjects are invariably clitic left-dislocated (CLLD) to the left periphery, and secondly the quantity of potential sentential core (TP-internal) positions available to host subjects in Nicoterese. |
