초록

The purpose of this paper is to account for the syntactic peculiarities of Spanish Free Relative Clauses and to provide an appropriate analysis for them. On the basis of the 'multidominant structure' adopted in more recent works by Wilder(1999, 2008), Citko(2005, 2011), Riemsdijk(2006a,b), among others, we will propose a novel analysis of the free relative clauses in Spanish. More specifically, it is assumed that the neutral definite article 'lo' forms the relative DP merging with the empty pronoun 'pro' and that this relative DP 'lo+pro' moves to Spec-CP in order to checking its [+rel] feature. We suppose under this hypothesis that the relative DP, which has moved to Spec-CP, merges again with the matrix verb yielding the multidominant structure. Our multidominance analysis can well account for the so-called 'Matching Condition', which is generally observed in Free Relative Clauses. However, this multidominance analysis is so strict that it can not explain the Spanish data in which the Matching Condition is not satisfied. To resolve this problem, we assume that some Spanish verbs that subcategorize CP as a complement do not merge with the relative DP, but with the CP that contains it in its Spec position and in this case the multidominant structure is not formed.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to account for the syntactic peculiarities of Spanish Free Relative Clauses and to provide an appropriate analysis for them. On the basis of the 'multidominant structure' adopted in more recent works by Wilder(1999, 2008), Citko(2005, 2011), Riemsdijk(2006a,b), among others, we will propose a novel analysis of the free relative clauses in Spanish. More specifically, it is assumed that the neutral definite article 'lo' forms the relative DP merging with the empty pronoun 'pro' and that this relative DP 'lo+pro' moves to Spec-CP in order to checking its [+rel] feature. We suppose under this hypothesis that the relative DP, which has moved to Spec-CP, merges again with the matrix verb yielding the multidominant structure. Our multidominance analysis can well account for the so-called 'Matching Condition', which is generally observed in Free Relative Clauses. However, this multidominance analysis is so strict that it can not explain the Spanish data in which the Matching Condition is not satisfied. To resolve this problem, we assume that some Spanish verbs that subcategorize CP as a complement do not merge with the relative DP, but with the CP that contains it in its Spec position and in this case the multidominant structure is not formed.
