Cross-linguistic Analysis of Finite Raising in Persain

Abstract

This article provides and examines empirical data from different languages showing that long A-movement of the subject of the embedded finite clause to the subject position of the main clause is indeed possible in many languages of the world. However all kinds of raising out of finte clause are not the same and have obvious differences from each other.In present article we introduce and acoount four kinds of finite raising including hyper raising, super raising further raising and copy raising in different languages. Finally we try to determine the position of Persian in cross-linguistic analysis of raising. © 2021, Tarbiat Modares University. All rights reserved.
