Juan killka-shka D NP<br />

Juan wrote<br />

lapiz/*pro<br />

pen/*pro<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, note that if indeed <strong>the</strong> external adjunct head in (4.81) has not<br />

raised to this position but in fact was base-generated externally, <strong>the</strong>n a pro must<br />

not be licensed in this same position, o<strong>the</strong>rwise null adjunct heads would be possible.<br />

This seems to be due to <strong>the</strong> unrecoverability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> relationship between a null pro<br />

<strong>and</strong> a nominalized phrase like ‘Juan wrote’, as opposed to <strong>the</strong> relationship between<br />

<strong>the</strong> overt ‘pen’ <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> phrase ‘Juan wrote’, but I leave it to future work to clarify<br />

this intuition.<br />

Turning now to (4.82), my proposed structure here is (4.84). The interpretation<br />

<strong>of</strong> this stucture would proceed as proposed in Shimoyama’s [2001] analysis <strong>of</strong><br />

Japanese IHRs. That is, pro is an E-type pronoun whose identity is determined by<br />

<strong>the</strong> context established by <strong>the</strong> relative clause.
