どちらの分析を採用するかは議論によって異なるが、後者の分析は、生成文法理論である統率・束縛理論(英語版)でも採用されている。実際の研究例は、Chomsky (1986a)[21]、Ouhalla (1994)[11]、Haegeman and Guéron (1999)[17]:108、Culicover and Jackendoff (2005)[22]:47 などを参照のこと。
[Workersangry about the pay] is just the sort of situation that the ad campaign was designed to avoid.[25]:732
この例文において、文頭の Workers は複数であるにもかかわらず、後続するコピュラが単数の一致形態を持つことが重要である。これは、コピュラが [NP Workers] ではなく [SCWorkersangry about the pay] と一致していることを意味すると同時に、構成素を成していることも強く示唆している[25]:732-733。同種の文例を提示している研究として、Haegeman and Guéron (1999:109)[17]やCulicover and Jackendoff (2005:48)[22]なども参照のこと。
Jermainei is [PredP ti [Pred' Pred0 [AP boring]] and [Pred' Pred0 [NP a fool]]].
()
b.
I consider [PredP Fred [Pred' Pred0 [AP crazy]] and [Pred' Pred0 [NP a fool]]].
また、この分析は I regard Fred as my best friend という文に含まれる as の扱いにも帰結を与える。元来前置詞は形容詞を補部にとることができないが、この as は語彙範疇Pではなく、機能範疇Predの音声具現であると仮定することにより、前置詞の選択特性の問題を払拭することができる[26]。
