Abstract

The embedded sentence is nowadays generally considered to be the maximal projection of the complementiser C (Pesetsky 1982; Chomsky 1986). Correspondingly, sentences are analysed as CP’s. Spec-Head agreement and X’-theory interact to allow not only for a head position but also for a Spec position. This neatly accounts for examples like the following:

I would like to thank Hans den Besten, Marine) Gerritsen, Jarich Hoekstra, Wim Kosmeyer and Jan-Wouter Zwart, the editors Werner Abraham and Josef Bayer, and the participants of the conference “Dialektsyntax in den germanischen Sprachen” for useful discussion and/or comments.
