Previous: Interaction with adjoined Comps
Adjunction on PRO, which would yield the ungrammatical ((210)) is blocked.
(209)0(209
- (210)
- *I want [[PRO [who Muriel likes] to read a book]].
This is done by specifying the <case> feature of NPf to be
nom/acc. The <case> feature of PRO is null. This
leads to a feature clash and blocks adjunction of relative clauses on to
PRO.
