The structure and interpretation of Spanish degree neuter constructions

This paper shows that apparent agreement mismatches in constructions headed by the neuter determiner in Spanish are actually instances of specifier-head agreement at different stages in the derivation of relative cluses and related constructions. The proposed analysis incorporates Kayne's (1994...

description This paper shows that apparent agreement mismatches in constructions headed by the neuter determiner in Spanish are actually instances of specifier-head agreement at different stages in the derivation of relative cluses and related constructions. The proposed analysis incorporates Kayne's (1994) theory of adjective raising within DPs and a detailed study of the semantic interpretation of resulting interface configurations. It is also claimed that the neuter determiner has to be treated as a maximality operator, in the sense of Rullmann (1995), which may bind either a degree variable or an individual variable.
