Abstract:
This dissertation describes and explains the distribution of Russian
complement clauses with the complementizer čto. It is shown that complement
clauses with čto display distributional restrictions that are not manifested
by their English and Dutch counterparts and that do not follow from the
standard account of complement clauses in the literature. Two classes of
environments are discussed where such restrictions are observed, namely,
complements of speech act verbs in their non-agentive uses and complements of
nouns.
In order to account for the observed restrictions, this dissertation argues
that clausal complements in Russian project a DP-layer and thus are subject to
the Case requirement, just like nominal complements. Consequently, clausal
complements must appear in Case positions, in contrast to the standardly held
view. It is proposed that in apparent “Caseless” positions clausal complements
are licensed by a null preposition, which has licensing conditions related to
its semantic interpretation (as a two-place relation between a proposition and
its “utterer”/“holder”). As a result, the observed restrictions on clausal
complements in Russian follow from the Case requirement of clausal complements
coupled with the licensing conditions on the null preposition.
This dissertation is of relevance to researchers working on the syntax and
semantic of clausal complements, Case and the grammar of Slavic languages.
