Since the onset of generative tradition, probing into the nature of the theory of control received its greatest impact from the English-type languages. Finite theory of control was not considered a mainstream approach at the time, dissociating these languages with finite control from the theory. This study, therefore, aims at investigating control constructions in Persian in its finite subjunctive constructions and comparing it to the infinitive control constructions in languages like English. More specifically, we argue that whereas control constructions in a language like English appear in the bare infinitive constructions, the parallel constructions in languages like Persian productively appear in non-bare, finite clauses of subjunctives. The embedded finite control in Persian includes [person] and [number] and as a result, they appear in finite TPs where the embedded verb receives the verbal endings, with the Nominative being checked structurally in the subject position of PRO in the embedded TP, contrary to the PRO being Caseless in GB era. Additionally, these constructions appear in the subjunctive, where mood is overtly available these constructions, suggesting a [MoodP] in the derivation. Finally, these embedded clauses hold CPs with the overt complementizer ke at the left periphery of the clause. Therefore, we show that the two languages have two different typology of embedded clause architectures, infinitive vs. finite complementation, where the latter was totally missing in the early generative literature. We show that these facts were all later developments of the generative tradition.
