Abstract:
The paper offers a brief introduction to Chomsky's (1981) theory of Government and Binding and points out that this model represents a fundamental shift in the theory of universals away from transformational rules and towards a restricted set of constraints and conditions on the application of rules. It, then, focuses on the subtheory of Empty Categories, which constitute phonologically null but syntactically and semantically justified noun-phrases. Finally it examines the applicability of this theory to the grammar of Modern Greek with positive results.
