Parametrization of Quantificational Determiners and Head-Internal Relatives *

This paper proposes that there are two types of determiners, one making use of feature checking and the other relying on binding. The typology of headinternal relative clauses (HIRC) is shown to be sensitive to this parametrization of quantificational determiners. Since the syntax of HIRC is generally correlated with that of wh-in-situ, it will also be claimed that the parametrization of determiners affects the properties of wh-in-situ as well.
