Parametrization of Quantificational Determiners and Head-Internal Relatives *

Abstract

This paper proposes that there are two types of determiners, one making use of feature checking and the other relying on binding. The typology of head-internal relative clauses (HIRC) is shown to be sensitive to this parametrization of quantificational determiners. Since the syntax of HIRC is generally correlated with that of wh-in-situ, it will also be claimed that the parametrization of determiners affects the properties of wh-in-situ as well. Key words: determiners, head-internal relative clauses, wh-in-situ
