Abstract

The aim of this paper is to discuss aspects of the grammar of the (non-relative) that-clauses which follow head nouns. Specifically, two aspects will be discussed here. The first has to do with the different types of expansions of head nouns wich can appear under the form of (non-relative) that- clauses. The second concerns the nature of the evidence for positing distinct types of that-clauses in NP structure. In essence, this paper focuses on the complement/modifier divide, as this applies to that-clauses in NP. Central to this discussion will be our attempt to sustain the thesis that that-clause complements to nouns do not exist.El objetivo de este artículo es discutir aspectos de la gramática de las cláusulas (no relativas) que siguen a sustantivos principales. En concreto, se tratarán dos aspectos. El primero tiene que ver con los distintos tipos de expansiones de los nombres principales que pueden aparecer bajo la forma de las cláusulas (no relativas) que. El segundo tiene que ver con la naturaleza de las pruebas para postular distintos tipos de cláusulas that en la estructura del NP. En esencia, este artículo se centra en la división complemento/modificador, en la medida en que se aplica a las cláusulas that en el NP. En el centro de esta discusión estará nuestro intento de sostener la tesis de que no existen complementos de sustantivos con la cláusula ese.
