The Positions of Demonstratives in the Extended Nominal Projection

Abstract

Abstract In section 1 I propose that in Spanish the demonstrative is always generated in a low position inside the extended nominal projection and that at PF it can be real¬ized either in this position, (lc-d), or in the prenominal position, (la-b). This sec¬ond option is due to the movement of the demonstrative from its base position to [Spec, DP] before Spell-Out. Observing the position of the postnominal demonstrative with respect to the other elements internal to the extended nominal projection, I show, in sections 2, 3, and 4, that the demonstrative is generated in the specifier of a functional projection lower than all the other functional projections containing the different classes of adjectives
