'''That-trace effect''' is the phenomenon that the [[complementizer]] (''that'') cannot be followed by a [[trace]] (except in relative clauses) in some languages (e.g. [[English]]). Thus, in languages showing the ''that''-t(race) effect, a [[subject]] cannot be extracted when it follows ''that''. This is shown by the contrast in (i) and (ii).

(i) who did you think [CP t' [C' e [IP t would win ]]]
(ii) *who did you think [CP t' [C' that [IP t would win ]]]

As noted, the ''that''-t effect is not a universal phenomenon. It is absent in e.g. [[Dutch]], as shown by the fact that the Dutch translation of (ii) is grammatical:

(iii) wie denk je [CP t' [C' dat [IP t gewonnen heeft ]]]
