Abstract

Traditional classifications of control distinguish two types: obligatory control (OC) and non-obligatory control (NOC). Recently, it has been demonstrated that OC should also be divided into two types: exhaustive and partial control (cf. Landau 2000). This more refined view of OC is taken to be evidence against the movement theory of control (MTC – cf. Hornstein 2001), the argument being that partially controlled PRO does not behave like a trace. In this paper, I contribute to advancing our understanding of control by looking at agreement and flotation in control configurations and developing an analysis for partial control that results from movement plus stranding.
