Again, the Sponsor relation links the pair of grammatical relations borne by Sally. It is not accidental that D erases A and E erases B. With one exception, successors erase their predecessors. I return to this below. , are neighbors. Otherwise, FOREIGN successors are involved. Cases of advancement and demotion involve local succession, while cases of ascension (raising), union, and extraction involve foreign succession. 28 CHAPTER 2 Consider the partial PN associated with 10 seems to be happy: (18) P Cho seems Jo be happy Informally, the complement 1, 10 is raised into the main clause as 1, putting the earlier 1 in chomage.
A successor erases its predecessor unless the latter has a replacer. That is, there are cases in which an arc has both a successor and a replacer. In such cases, the replacer erases the arc, and it is only in such cases that a successor fails to erase its predecessor: (23) PN Law 2 (Successor Erase Law):4 If A is B's successor and B has no replacer, then A erases B. The formulation of the Successor Erase Law guarantees for certain cases that an arc will have only one eraser. This is consistent with a further law which requires that no arc have more than a single eraser: (24) PN Law 3 (The Unique Eraser Law): If A erases Band C erases B, then A = C.
See (73)-(74) below. 4 below), and by several other predicates. s The syntax of forms suffixed with -el is problematic, though perhaps no more so than that of infinitives in other languages, which these resemble. Since I have made no systematic survey of this construction, I simply list some examples in two sets. In the first set, the object of the complement clause is cross-referenced by set A affixes on the predicate: (66) 7ak' let s- pamta -el imp A3 cense el -0 a- vex.
