I assume \u2013 as is commonly assumed – that the subject is basgenerated\u00a0in Spec-VP. The subject moves to Spec-FP to check agreement features\u00a0in F0. The agreement features in North Sami are person and number, but\u00a0not gender. The main verb moves from V to T to check tense and ends up\u00a0in F0 to check agreement, if not an auxiliary (or modal) blocks the main\u00a0verb from reaching the checking positions.<\/p>\n There is a full agreement in North Sami between the (formal) subject of the\u00a0finite clause and the finite verb. Negation in (North) Sami is expressed by a\u00a0negative\u00a0auxiliary. The negative auxiliary shows agreement with the subject\u00a0but is not inflected for tense or mood, which indicates that NegP is generated\u00a0between\u00a0FP and TP \u2013 as in many other Finno-Ugric languages. The auxiliary\u00a0(leat<\/em>) is generated below TP and takes a TP as its complement. The data\u00a0from North Sami suggests that the feature specifications of the first TP are associated\u00a0with tense and mood and the second TP with aspect. A modal\u00a0\u2013 on the other and \u2013 takes a TP headed for [-Tense] as its complement,\u00a0irrespective\u00a0of the position in the clause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Subjeavtta sadji ja finihtta cealkagiid struktuvra davvis\u00e1megielas Mikael Svonni (S\u00e1mi dutkan, Ubmi universitehta) Vie\u010d\u010da artihkkala d\u00e1s (pdf).
