 note = {Transitive Expletive Constructions adduced in the Paston Letters have the following characteristics: the subject is not extraposed, acceptable only in the negative form, and always preceded by modals, or other auxiliaries. The problems I pose in this article are (I) does anything move from its original position? (II) if so, where does it move? (III) why does it have to move? I conclude that the subject leaves its original position [spec, VP] and moves to [spec, NegP] in order to check the negative features of the spec and the head.},
