184 ANTONIA ANDROUTSOPOULOU(56) a.b. drejtori i shkollesdirector-DEF DET school-GEN'the school principal'As in (22a), the noun drejtori XP-raises to Spec, D/PP and then N-raises toleft-adjoin to D. Shkolles is thematically the complement of drejtori. Thus, in(56a), we have to assume that shkolles raises out of the NP for Case reasonsfrom the position complement of drejtori to a specifier position within the DP,quite probably as high as Spec, AgrP.An analysis of adjectival determiners with genitives as in (56a) (thisanalysis would correspond to that in (22a)), rather than as in (57) below (thisanalysis would correspond to that in (43)), is in my opinion more plausiblegiven the following considerations. In (57), the adjectival determiner—whichcrucially agrees in gender, number, and Case with the noun drejtori—takes asits complement the DP shkolles. That is, the functional head F2 (essentially aD-like functional head) takes a DP complement, that is, another functionalprojection. Crucially, each one of the two functional heads, F2 and the head D ofthe DP complement of F2, is the spell-out of the number, gender, and Casefeatures of a different lexical head: F2 of the head of NP1, D of the head of NP2.
