The main theoretical goal of the article is to provide a characterization of the syntactic properties of cleft interrogative structures on the basis of a comparison between standard French and Northern Italian dialects; the analysis is based on the assumption that the functional structure of the left periphery is invariant in Romance and contains two different checking positions for bare wh-words.

Abstract

The main theoretical goal of the article is to provide a characterization of the syntactic properties of cleft interrogative structures on the basis of a comparison between standard French and Northern Italian dialects; the analysis is based on the assumption that the functional structure of the left periphery is invariant in Romance and contains two different checking positions for bare wh-words.
