Using Subsumption Rather Than Equality in Functional Control

In this paper I consider the typology of forward and backward control and raising structures, and argue that structure-sharing based on the relation of subsumption rather than equality provides a stronger linguistic basis for the typology (cf. Zaenen and Kaplan (2002, 2003)). I also consider the points of contact and divergence between structure-sharing and the `copy theory of movement' that is prevalent in current minimalist syntax.
