| Ringkasan: | This dissertation analyses the existence of Null Case and PRO within the Mah Meri
language following the Minimalist approach by Noam Chomsky who argues that PRO
has null case checked by non-finite ‘T’. The Mah Meri language being one of the
endangered languages is dying since it is spoken only by most adults within the
population and not practiced among the children. Due to that, this research can
contribute to the documentation of Mah Meri language in syntax. In addition to that,
like any other languages, the non-finite phrases of the Mah Meri language will be
identified to analyses the PRO as null case suggested by the Minimalist Approach.
Findings reveal that in the Null Subject Parameter, there are Null Case and PRO
existence in Mah Meri phrases. |
