The investigation of the internal structure of nominal constructions has recently provided important evidence for at least three aspects of syntactic theory: a) the syntactic representation of empty categories b) the deductive depth of parameter theory c) the form of the syntax-semantics mapping The results so achieved begin to provide a preliminary reference framework for parametric descriptions of Determiner Phrases across the world's languages: they concern both the lexical structure and the functional structure surrounding head nouns and will be examined in turn.

- Two structures for numeral-noun constructions (2012, background): “Mittendorf and Sadler (2010) observe that in NNCs containing a coordination of two nouns, a distributive reading where the numeral quanties over the set denoted by the coordination is possible only in the prepositional structure. One possible hypothesis, which cannot be pursued here for reasons of ”
- The Explicit Syntax of Implicit Arguments (2010, background): “Third, a preposed object preempts binding by the null subject, indicating that the latter normally occupies the syntactic position serving as the landing site for the object (see Longobardi 2001:575–576 for the relevant paradigm in Italian).”
