| dc.description | This article proposes separate analyses for the question
particles -a and al in Basque, which occur only in polarity
questions, within the framework of Generative Grammar. I will
propose that the former one, used in the eastern dialects, is the
head of FiniteP and that the latter one, used in the central
dialects, occupies the head of Particle Phrase located between TP
and the CP field. I provide the following evidence in support of
this dual analysis: 1) -a can be used with ote but no other
particle can appear at the same time with al; 2) al is compatible
with allocutivity but -a is not; 4) and, finally, al can be used
in embedded clauses, whereas -a cannot. The fact that -a is not
allowed to occur in indirect questions and that it is
incompatible with the allocutive verbal paradigm shows that it is
in complementary distribution with the head of CP and, therefore,
that -a occupies such a head; on the other hand, the
impossibility of al to appear with other particles suggest that
they must occur in the same position and, since it can appear in
embedded questions and with allocutive forms, it does not occupy
the head of the CP, but the head of a phrase below. | - |
