Abstract This chapter introduces section (1.1) that presents languages and data, section (1.2) shows the main objectives of the study, and section (1.3) focuses on research questions,. This chapter is divided into two main parts. The first part, section (1.4), presents the theoretical framework. This part is divided into eight main sections that discuss Generative Grammar (GG) and language acquisition, Principles and Parameters (P&P), Government and Binding Theory (GB), X-bar Theory, Theta Theory, Case Theory, and the Minimalist Program (MP). The second part, section (1.5), is mainly concerned with the literature review that discusses the previous studies relevant to the thesis.This part is divided into four main sections. The first section (1.5.1) introduces the Binding Theory (BT) in EA, as illustrated by Freiz (2001), and the second section (1.5.2) presents deflected agreement as argued by Belnap (1993, 1999), Brustad (2000), and Ryding (2005). The third section (1.5.3) provides an overview of long distance reflexivization and logophoricity as investigated by Choi (1999), König and Siemund (2000), Huang (2000), and Zribi-Hertz (1989). The last section (1.5.4) investigates polarity items based on the binding approach as suggested by Progovac (1994). The chapter ends with the organization of the study, section (1.6), and the conclusion, section (1.7). |
