本文重点关注导致主题领域对子提取不透明的复杂因素。主题被认为是可提取可能性的岛屿。 Gallego & Uriagereka (2006) 建议，当主体占据 TP 的说明符位置时，禁止对主体进行子提取，因为 TP 是浪漫的一个阶段。相比之下，我表明这在西班牙语或意大利语等语言时代并不是正确的限制，在这些语言时代，从后语言和前语言主题中进行子提取都是合法的。此外，英语和其他非罗曼语言也实例化了从主语中进行子提取的情况，无论其在言语前或言语后的位置如何。基于 Chomsky (2008) 的阶段概念，我认为 DP 可能是强阶段或弱阶段，具体取决于两个主要的话语相关因素：即，确定性和话语链接。因此，如果 DP 被标记为不定且与话语相关，则可以从弱 DP 阶段进行子提取。
This paper focuses on the complex factors which ren der subject domains opaque to subextraction. Subjects have been held to be islands f or extractability possibilities. Gallego & Uriagereka (2006) suggest that sub-extraction is banned from subjects when they occupy the specifier position of TP because TP is a phase in Romance. By contrast, I show that this is not the right constraint in langu ages such as Spanish or Italian, in which sub-extraction is licit from both post-verbal and pre-verbal subjects. In addition, English and other non-Romance languages also instantiate cases of sub-extraction from subjects, irrespective of their pre-verbal or post- verbal position. Building on Chomsky’s (2008) notion of phase, I propose that DPs may be s trong or weak phases depending on two major discourse-related factors; namely, Defini teness and Discourse-Linking. Thus, sub-extraction from a weak DP phase is possible if the DP is marked as indefinite and discourse-linked.
