A Phase-Based Approach to ECM across CP in Korean
... It is here that I show that ECM is mediated by movement of VP/vP to Spec-CP. It has been suggested by many linguists that in languages like Korean and Japanese the subject can stay in the VP-internal position without moving to Spec-TP (J.-M. Yoon 1991, Fukui 1995, among many others; also see Rizzi 1 ...
