This article explores from a minimalistic point of view the so-called seem as if construction with expletive subjects, which we refer to as the multiple expletive construction. This construction involves more than one expletive there that is related to a single associate via remote and multiple agreement, i.e., finite verbs of both matrix and embedded clauses agree with the associate. The theoretical interest of this construction concerns questions as to whether there carries Case or not, and how the associate NP undergoes Case-checking and enters into an agreement relation with more than one checking head. I argue that the answer lies in considerations of structure building.

This paper addresses Expletive Constructions (ECs) with a raised subject in Middle English (ME) and early Modern English (eModE). In particular, my major concerns are the following two issues; (i) why could ME and eModE ECs allow optional subject raising, and (ii) why did the relevant ECs decline during eModE? I will provide an account of the first issue by assuming that there-cliticization to [T-C] makes possible the overt subject raising, and that Merge is equal to Move in cost. It will be further suggested that the demise of these constructions is attributable to the loss of the V2 structure.

In this paper I discuss the English NP and its diachronic development into DP via the introduction of a D-system within nominals. Since NPs are inherently predicative, and N has a R (eferential)-role, that R-role must be bound, if NP is to be used as an argument. Either a functional category D or morphological case binds the R-role. Since there was no DP in OE, and the status of nominal projections was NP, morphological case bound the R-role. When morphological case disappeared, a syntactic D-system was introduced to bind the R-role. I also argue that the languages of the world might be described in terms of these two, a D-system and morphological case.

This paper analyzes modal semantics in terms of Cognitive Grammar. By employing such cognitive notions as subjectification and grounding, modal meanings, which are often described in terms of ad hoc classifications like ability, obligation, or permission, may be captured by means of more fundamental semantic notions. Moreover, it is shown that they may be represented in a semantic network model based on the categorizing relationships of extension and schematization. Finally, it is proposed that this analysis also contributes to an explanation of the historical development of the modals, wherein one may observe what shall be termed promotion and recruitment effects, which crucially depend on the relative subjectification of modal meanings.
