As in the correspondingAlbanian example in (22a), in (23a) I will take AgrlP to be the projection underwhich morphological features spelled out on the adjective are checked. Example(23a) depicts only the steps in the derivation of (23b) relevant for the discussionof adjectival determiners. In the state of affairs in (23a), I think that it is reasonableto conjecture, similarly to what I have proposed for Albanian in (22a), thatin (23a), prior to movement of to vivlio to Spec, D/PP, vivlio moves to Spec,Agr2P, and a configuration like that in (24) obtains:
