Скачать или смотреть Syntax but Fast: Defective Clauses

In this video, we explore defective clauses, a special type of embedded clause that lacks a CP layer and challenges standard syntactic assumptions. Using examples from Radford 2004, we examine how these clauses behave differently through coordination, focus, and passivization tests, and introduce the concept of Exceptional Case Marking, where the higher verb assigns accusative case to the subject of a lower TP. The video concludes with a clear tree diagram that walks you through feature valuation, case assignment, and the structure of these so-called defective clauses.
