in having an underspecified left periphery (in particular, C and [Spec, CP]). The

argumentation for this view is two-pronged. On the one hand, it is argued that the

proposed analysis can yield a straightforward compositional semantic analysis of

TFRs and that ‘pivot-as-head’ analyses cannot, and on the other, it is shown that two

types of morphological Case effects in German favour a uniform configurational

structure for FRs and TFRs.
