In recent years, formal syntactic theory has broadened its scope and has come to interact

traditions of inquiry as comparative dialectology, language typology, and analytic
philosophy, fruitfully exchanging insights and research techniques. As a result, it has
become possible to raise and solve new, meaningful problems, which would have hardly

Within such an enlarged framework of interests and methods, this article will consider evidence from Romance and Germanic suggesting the following theoretical conclusions:
