3.5.2 The sandwiched XP and recomplementation que stand in a Spec-Head relationship3.5.2.1 Polarity and recomplementation. In recent work, Garrett (2013) provides empirical support for the claim put forth here that both the sandwiched XP and recomplementation que are topic-related entities. The author applies a test for topichood devise; 3.5.2.2 Ellipsis and recomplementation.

A number of proposals assume that optional secondary que heads FinitenessP, while the high, obligatory que characteristic of embedded declarative clauses heads ForceP, the two complementizers serving to delimi.

Using the articulated left-periphery as a laboratory and Spanish constructions featuring more than one complementizer as a point of departure, the author delivers new insights into the syntactic positions and behavior of Spanish complementizer <i>que</i> along the left edge. These observations have far-reaching consequences to such fundamental linguistic concepts as the derivation of left dislocations, el.
