CP arguments have been argued to be Caseless and u-featureless. Empirical evidence mainly drawn from Spanish suggests that this claim should be reconsidered. In this paper, I claim that clausal arguments and nominalized clauses have a u content and Case specification. These types of arguments are therefore able to relate by agreement with a functional category. The facts examined support minimalist guidelines by claiming that the concrete realization of the u and Case content of a syntactic object is irrelevant for computational mechanisms to take place.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
