ARG-ST as a head feature

[Ash Asudeh]

Berthold,

Chris Manning briefly discusses having ARG-ST as a head feature in his
CSLI book "Ergativity". His proposal has to do with binding theory. As far
as I recall, he remains agnostic about it in the end.

I also pursue this proposal and discuss it (but don't ultimately adopt it)
in my 1998 University of Edinburgh MPhil thesis (see bibtex info
below; you can also get it from my webpage www.stanford.edu/~asudeh).

Hope that helps a little.
