are categorised in the relevant syntactic environment. For<br />

example, a root will become A(or ADV)-equivalent when<br />

preceded by hen (very), N-equivalent in [Spec TP] or<br />

complement of V , and V-equivalent in the complement of<br />

little v (or complement of Asp in Borer (2005a,b)) .
