Abstract
Quechua nominal and verbal projections are very much alike in their general structure, and nominalized verbs can have either a more verbal or a more nominal projection, as shown in chapter 2. Within nominalized clauses the difference between the more nominal and the more verbal projections is seen principally in the type of Case assignment. The fact that Quechua nominalized verbs are all defined as [+ N, + V] raises the central issue of what features are involved in Case assignment in Quechua.
