1. Cf. #446: Complement-balancing languages favour assimilation of ANCs to non-derived NPs, while complement-deranking languages favour retention of sentential marking in ANCs.2. Givón (1970: 405) observes that “when a language develops a nominalization pattern for a complex verb phrase, it maintains in the nominalization the same syntactic order which held in the verb phrase itself.” But here the model for ANCs is claimed to be the basic NP rather than the basic VP.
