4.2.2.3 What can be a head<br />

Whereas in IQ <strong>the</strong>re seems to be no direct connection between <strong>the</strong> Case-marking on<br />

a subordinate clause DP <strong>and</strong> its possible interpretation as an internal head, in CQ<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is a strict relationship between <strong>the</strong>se things: we have seen in Chapter 3 that<br />

only null-marked arguments can be CQ internal heads. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, CQ subjects<br />

may be internal heads as long as <strong>the</strong> subject-head nominalizer -q appears on <strong>the</strong><br />

verb, since in <strong>the</strong>se cases subjects have no overt Case marking.<br />

That IQ allows a wide variety <strong>of</strong> internal heads is illustrated in (4.10) <strong>and</strong> (4.11)<br />

below, showing a locative <strong>and</strong> a time adjunct head respectively.<br />
