Middle English (ME) is known to exhibit a number of peculiar constructions in which Case-marked NPs can be found in positions where Present-day English (PE) does not allow them to appear. I take up two such constructions in this paper. One example is nominative Case-marked NPs which appear in the subject position of an infinitival construction that is itself the subject of a clause. The other is accusative Case-marked NPs which appear in the position of NP in the "it be ADJ [NP to VP]"-type construction. I attempt to account for the phenomena in terms of Chomsky's (1995a, 1995b) minimalist approach to the theory of grammar.
