I haven't had time to read Andreas' posting yet, but can make a brief reply to this comment from Tibor: >...The grammar in PS 1994 actually licenses the structure below, >where the phrasal status of the subject is without relevance (come on >authorities, correct me ...), if we interpret the following quote as >mentioned below: > > > S > / \ > N VP > | | > Kim V > | > left > Since there is no lexical insertion, this would mean that _Kim_ is listed in the lexicon as a _phrase_ (for better or worse). And we also need to account for other bare NPs like mass and plural nouns, which I don't think we want to consider 'lexical phrases'... do we?
