Provided abstract:
This paper proposes that the clausal functional lexical items v, T and C can enter the clause in the different ways in (1) by Set and Pair Merge:
(1)
a. [CP C [TP T [vP v . . . ]]] the analytical (e.g. English) type
b. [CP C [P . . . ]] the mixed (e.g. German) type
c. [P . . . ] the synthetic/agglutinative (e.g. Japanese) type
The proposal helps making sense of a number of the languages’ properties and gives rise to parameter-induced “clustering” effects.
