标题[请益] 关於I-movement
时间Tue May 6 23:43:55 2008
想请教各位以下这一题~
Judge: Have you reached a verdict?
Foreman: We have, your honor.
Judge: What say you?
The judge's grammar differs from that of Modern English
in the formulation of one syntactic rule.
What is that rule and how is it different from Modern English?
Actually, I have the answer key, but I still don't get it.
ANS: In Modern English, I-movement moves only a tensed auxiliary verb;
in Early English, I-movement moves any tensed verb.
so wordy @@ ...can someone please explain it a bit?
Thank you sooooooo much.
