cient to delimit <strong>the</strong> repair, because it fixes only some impossible clusters, not all<br />

where cliticization is impossible, (245), nor all ruled out by <strong>the</strong> PCC, (246).<br />

(PCC with possessor dative; French, section 4.5)<br />

These considerations have shown that <strong>the</strong> PCC <strong>and</strong> its repair pay attention to<br />

syntactic facts neutralized in realization, including <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> 1 st /2 nd person clitics,<br />

c-comm<strong>and</strong> between datives <strong>and</strong> accusatives, applicative vs. prepositional datives,<br />

reflexives vs. mediopassive se. The same has been observed elsewhere: Romance<br />

<strong>and</strong> Basque TP-internal datives vs. TP-external ethical <strong>and</strong> allocutive markers<br />

(Albizu 1997ab, Ormazabal <strong>and</strong> Romero 2007), Basque <strong>and</strong> Chinook applicative<br />

vs. prepositional datives (section 5.6), Georgian subject-object vs. object-dative<br />

competition (section 5.8), <strong>and</strong> morphemes with ∅ exponence in Georgian <strong>and</strong><br />

Tzotzil (Bonet 1991: 190, Albizu 1997a: note 8). Morphology could refer to this<br />

information only at a steep price, for as distinct from syntax <strong>and</strong> phonology, it is<br />

motivated precisely by phenomena like syncretisms. These are respected by morphological<br />

operations, including <strong>the</strong> opaque cliticization <strong>and</strong> agreement <strong>of</strong> chapter<br />

2 that superficially resemble PCC repairs. More generally, a modular architecture<br />

attributes to morphology a 'modular signature' that has been confirmed in chapter<br />

2. The PCC <strong>and</strong> its repair have proven to have a fully syntactic signature in chapter<br />

4, along with <strong>the</strong> similar person hierarchy interactions <strong>of</strong> chapter 3.
