Abstract

In the framework of the Agree operation of Chomsky (2000, 2001) and the feature geometry of Harley and Ritter (2002), this paper develops the hypothesis that the impossibility of combining certain clitics (Person Case Constraint (PCC)) is a consequence of the lack of certain probes in the functional head v. These missing probes would have the function of guiding a whole set of probes towards a certain goal. Two different types of guiding probes are proposed: the probe that copies the gender feature of the direct object and the probe in charge of copying the addressee feature also of the direct object.
Keywords: Person case constraint. Probes. Syntactic features. Feature geometry.
