Abstract(in English) | Sigurdsson (2003), extending Chomsky's (2001) uniformity principle, suggests that all languages share exactly the same formal features and some features are simply not pronounced. In this paper, I will provide further evidence that languages are in fact equipped with the same formal features, and argue that the phonological variation in whether the (meaningful) formal features are audibly/visibly expressed or remain silent depends on whether the features are inherited by T from C and how they compute with respect to the EPP on T. I assume, following Alexiadou and Anagnostopoulou (2007), that EPP is a condition on T or a feature on T, which can be satisfied by various phonological materials such as subject, topic, and focus elements. |
