Subject:  Deletable complementizers

I would like to ask for help in identifying languages that are like
English in having a declarative complementizer C that satisfies
conditions (A) and (B) below:

(A)  C is adjacent to the (surface/case) position of the subject.
(B)  C alternates freely with zero in complement clauses from
     which nothing has been extracted (at least in environments
     where the zero C will be head governed or the equivalent).

If possible, I would also like to know the answers to questions (1)
and (2) for such C:

(1)  How is C realized in the case of subject extraction from an
     complement clause (e.g. "Who do you think t likes Jim?")?
(2)  How is C realized in the case of nonsubject extraction from an
     complement clause (e.g. "Who do you think (that) Jim likes t?")?

Many thanks in advance for any information (including bibliogra-
phical) you can provide.

I am looking for a good speech-to-text recognition program that can take a
wav file, recognize it, and convert it to text. Please help!
