Falé (eds.). Textos Seleccionados do XXV ENAPL 2009, Lisboa: Colibri, 111-126http://hdl.handle.net/10451/30873The analysis of Cape Verdean Creole shows that the language exhibits several complementizers (di, ki, ma, pa, pamodi, si and Æ) that type the sentences they introduce, in the sense of Cheng’s (1991) Clausal Typing Hypothesis. The relative order between ki ‘that’ / di ‘of’ and Topics / Focus constitutes evidence against the need for an expansion of the left periphery (against Rizzi, 1997). Therefore, I assume that these elements are merged in Cº and come from the Numeration with a bundle of formal features ([D], [V], [Q], [Wh] and [T]) that need to be checked (by Agree).porCreoleComplementizerClausal typingLeft peripheryCriouloComplementadoresCunhagem de frasesPeriferia esquerdajournal article
