Abstract: This paper provides a unified theory of controller choice and the availability of what Landau (2000) calls Partial Control. The argument is twofold : with respect to "subject control," I show that Landau's EC/PC distinction largely overlaps with the distinction in passivizability of the matrix verb ; with respect to "object control," I show that split control is reduced to a subclass of PC, contrary to Landau. These two contrasts, the possibility of passivization and that of split control, can be explained uniformly if we extend Watanabe's (1996b, 2000) theory of control and switch reference. This SR-based theory of controller choice will lead us to a peculiar notion of "subject-sensitivity."
