 note = {The purpose of this paper is to provide support for a hybrid approach to the EPP (Extended Projection Principle) that predication and structural Case licensing are independently involved in the EPP to license a syntactic subject (É. Kiss (2002) and Osawa (2010)). In particular, it is argued that Case is not only motivation for the EPP but predication also plays a role for the syntactic subject requirement. This hybrid approach to the EPP predicts that predication independently induces the EPP effects even under an environment where Case licensing does not require a syntactic process such as feature checking. In order to see the validity of the approach, MM (Mad Magazine) sentences are discussed, where Case is spelled out by the morphological component and thus no feature checking mechanism in the syntax to ensure the presence of syntactic subjects is needed. It is observed that the EPP effects are still seen under such environments. Since the EPP effects in MMs cannot be attributed to Case, the observation suggests that our approach is on the right track. Furthermore, two potential analyses for the EPP in MMs are discussed, and it is claimed that predication is more essential to account for the EPP in MMs. The first analysis for the EPP in MMs is the event binding analysis that claims subject licensing (i.e. the EPP) and event binding correlate. This analysis predicts that only stage-level predicates are allowed in MMs. On the other hand, under the hybrid approach, the EPP is at work whenever a predicate is present regardless of the type of predicate, and thus it is expected that MMs allow an individual-level predicate as well. It turns out that MMs allow not only stage-level predicates but also individual-level predicates without an event binder. The other analysis is the EPP feature analysis that claims the EPP feature of an inflectional head causes the EPP effects. Although T in finite clauses and null T in MMs show different syntactic behaviors, they share the same status as a head of predication. The common property of the inflectional heads indicates that predication is a more essential notion to explain why inflectional heads bear the EPP feature. The discussion concerning potential analyses, in conclusion, provides support for the hybrid approach to the EPP.},
