I argue that the presence or absence of these constructions in a given language can be determined by independent properties of CP and TP in the language, including: 1) whether CPs or infinitival phrases are phi-goals in the language and 2) the presence of an EPP effect on T and (and how it can be satisfied). I show that variation in these factors can capture the different raising profiles found in Zulu, Makhuwa, and English, and Uyghur.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/br><br clear='none'\/>\n<strong>Note: a previous version of this announcement mistakenly gave the month of this talk as July.
