ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the background and reviews examples of extraction and subextraction from subjects based on Cedric Boeckx. It deals with a problem for the theory related to movement of subjects out of finite clauses. The chapter also presents the core theoretical assumptions. It provides a comparative study of English and Norwegian indirect objects and their A and A-bar properties. The chapter discusses various data involving extractions related to subjects. It focuses on the properties of freezing related to direct and indirect objects. The chapter looks at subextraction from subjects and then briefly at extraction of subjects related to that-trace effects. It addresses an empirical problem for the approach. The chapter also discusses data on local subject questions. Subextraction from subjects was shown to relate to the assumption that the subject moves into a checking domain that is an unambiguous feature-checking site.
