noun good; only <strong>the</strong> PCC repair does (for related points, cf. Kayne 2000: 150,<br />
159f. note 67, <strong>and</strong> Schütze 1997: 4.1.1.6 for irreparability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PCC in Icel<strong>and</strong>ic<br />

4.4.4 Right dislocation<br />
Right dislocation is compatible only with clitics <strong>and</strong> not strong pronouns,<br />
whe<strong>the</strong>r focussed datives or unfocussed locatives. Couquaux (1978: 213 note 6)<br />
observes that <strong>the</strong> unfocussed strong pronoun dative <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PCC repair aligns with<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r strong pronouns against clitics. The source <strong>of</strong> this constraint is unknown, but<br />
it may reside in <strong>the</strong> richer content <strong>of</strong> strong pronouns (section 4.2), <strong>and</strong> be compared<br />
to <strong>the</strong> incompatibility <strong>of</strong> epi<strong>the</strong>ts with right dislocation.<br />

4.4.5 <strong>Phi</strong>-agreement<br />
Morin (1978) observes that clitics must transmit <strong>the</strong>ir person to obligatorily<br />
controlled PRO, while strong pronouns may transmit 3 rd person to relative clause<br />
operators (speakers vary considerably). The strong pronouns <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PCC repair<br />
behave as o<strong>the</strong>r strong pronouns for <strong>the</strong> relative clauses in (162). The contrast with<br />
clitics can only be indirect, because clitics do not head relative clauses, while control<br />
clauses where clitics transmit phi-<strong>features</strong> to PRO do not combine with ditransitives<br />
where <strong>the</strong> PCC repair occurs.<br />
