The purposes of this study are to review the analyses of the [that-t] effect within the framework of Government and Binding(hence, GB), Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar(hence, GPSG), and Minimalist Program(hence, MP), and to propose the Spell-out Rule based on CP-split hypothesis. To accomplish these purposes, the functions of complementizers are reviewed. It is argued that the Spell-out Rule based on CP-split hypothesis can explain the [that-t] effect, Doubly-filled Comp constructions, and that-AdvP effect. In this paper, it is shown that a head in a split CP projection can be spelled out in English as: (ⅰ) that in a complement clause if it carries a declarative force feature(with or without a finiteness feature) and SpecTP is overt(that is, phonetic), (ⅱ) ∅ or if if it carries a finiteness feature(with or without a declarative force feature), and (ⅲ) for if it doesn't carry a finiteness feature(with or without a declarative force feature).
