In this paper I would like to argue that the Ing-form modifying the preceding NP is an IP with [-Tense], not a CP(S') which is assumed in the Reduced Relative Clause analysis (henceforce RRC) and 'Whiz' deletion. The IP analysis with the principles of the Government and Binding Theory solves the problem with the CP analysis, without using the condition of deletion. It also explains why the Ing-form is possible only when the modified NP corresponds to the subject of the verb in the Ing-form. Other examples discussed here are PPs modifying the preceding NP and indirect questions. The PP exhibits the same properties as the Ing-form. As for indirect questions, the Ing-form never appears in them. Both of these examples favor the IP analysis.
