• Drachman, Gaberell

Using the method of conjecture, refutation, and auxiliary hypothesis, the article illustrates the development of (part of) the theory of transformational-generative syntax over the last decade by surveying a single problem area, viz., that of the extraction of Subjects. It concludes with a speculative account of Subject-extraction in Modern Greek.

Περιέχει σημειώσεις και βιβλιογραφία, This paper was originally written for the Annual Linguistics Meeting, Thessaloniki, of May 1986. Although it was eventually not read there, I have made only minimal, stylistic changes, rather than delay the present publication. Warm thanks to Dr. A. Malikouti, Jannis Fikias and Dr. P. Hummer for patient listening to, and criticism of earlier versions of this paper: On the other hand, I see no reason to absolve them of their (albeit limited) share of the blame.
