Project description
In this research I will contribute to one of the major issues in the Gnerative approach, namely how much the interpretive component syntactically encoded. In order to do this, I will analyze the cleft structures of some Romance and Germanci languages with different main characteristics, with special attention for non-standard varieties of French, Dutch and European Portuguese.
