Contrasting Extraction Types.
Postal, Paul M.
Journal of Linguistics, v30 n1 p159-86 Mar 1994
This paper grounds a novel typology yielding three major types of English (L(eft)-extraction, defined by their relationship to resumptive pronouns (RPs): (1) B-extractions, which require RPs in their extraction sites, (2) A1-extractions, which allow RPs in their extraction sites, and (3) A2-extractions, which forbid RPs in their extraction sites.
