This book addresses the role complementisers (eg that in She said that she would) and their phrases play in the phase-based approach to the mental computation of language. Leading linguists and promising young scholars draw on analyses of a wide range of languages to consider how complementisers behave in subject extraction phenomena. INDICE: 1: E.
