Syntax I

I_i seem [_TP t_i to have overlooked the fact that we never added into the UTAH the statement that a TP can be assigned a Proposition θ-role when it is the complement of verbs like seem.] I sort of assumed it without explicitly incorporating it into the system.

So:

• CP sister of V: Proposition
• TP sister of V: Proposition

Notice that even though there are two ways to get a Proposition θ-role, it’s still possible to tell, based on where the TP or CP is in the tree, what &theta-role is assigned. The relation between structural positions and θ-roles is not one-to-one. In fact, this observation is not really new—for example, we already had two places where Agents could be found as well (SpecnP and SpecvP).
