Our results build on the proposals of Pesetsky and Torrego (2001, henceforth "P&T 2001"). In that paper we argued that several distinct syntactic phenomena result from interactions between tense-motivated movement into the C-system and nominative case on the subject. This work attempted to unite a number of strands of research that had generally been pursued separately. In particular, our results suggested that work on the syntax of tense illuminates the theory of case. The distribution of tense inside arguments turned out to interact strongly with the external distribution of these arguments. The present paper suggests a broader unification of these research strands with recent work on the nature of syntactic categories.
