Dongseok Kim. 2000. On the EPP-Feature of T. Studies in Modern Grammar 22, 125-144. In this paper, we argue that defective T is devoid of EPP-feature, and that the weak expletive there bears Case feature. On the observation that the target of Move or Merge for the purpose of satisfying the EPP of T is invariably a Case marked position, we propose to reduce the EPP-feature to Case checking requirement. The proposed analysis has advantages of eliminating the Merge over Move Preference and redundancy in EPP and Case checking.
