. TEFLIN Journal: A publication on the teaching and learning of English, 12 (2): - (2001)

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to see the universality of the Government/Binding Theory in its concepts of government, the pro-drop parameter, and binding theory. Three languages – English, Indone­sian, and Javanese – are analyzed based on the three concepts. From the analysis it is concluded that in some cases language is universal, but in some other cases every language is specific.
