Suppose ve is the derived subject, that is, it has been moved not to the sentence initial focus position but indeed to the subject position. Under this approach the D-structure and S-structure representations of (16) will be (23) and (24) respectively: (23)         (24)   A dative subject sentence, under this analysis would be either a subjectless sentence having the D-structure representation (25) or a sentence in which the CP in VP has been raised to the subject position having the D-structure representation (26)
