NEGATIVE HEADS AND THE NEG CRITERION

* This paper grew out of a Suggestion of Luigi Rizzi. We thank him for bis help and support throughout our work on the topic. The paper was presented at the linguistics seminars of UCL, Geneva and Tilburg. We thank the participants of these seminars for their suggestions. Special thanks go to Michael Brody, Wynn Chao, Arnold Evers, Teun Hoekstra, Riny Huybregts, Rita Manzini, Genoveva Puskas and Henk van Riemsdijk. Finally, we thank an anonymous referee of The Linguistic Review for his comments and suggestions. Needless to say none of these various people can be held responsible for the way we have used their suggestions.
