T1 - An analogical approach to noun clause distribution
AU - Grosu, Alexander
PY - 1983

N2 - This paper offers a functional explanation for certain restrictions on the distribution of subject/object noun clauses. Its twin goals are (i) to improve on earlier functional explanation of the same range of data put forward in Grosu & Thompson (1977), and (ii) to provide additional support for a view I have argued for in a number of earlier works, namely, that one factor which favours the emergence of marked constructions is their (apparent) similarity to unmarked constructions.
