          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Portuguese exhibits a great variety of wh-exclamative sentences, including sentential exclamatives, which are the main concern of this paper. Brazilian Portuguese sentential wh-exclamatives seem to provide evidence to propose a split Force in the periphery of the sentence (RIZZI, 1997) when one considers the cooccurrence of a relative and an exclamative in the same utterance. We assume there are at least two functional heads available in Force: a RelP (hosting relative WHs) and an ExclP, supposed to host exclamative WHs; analyzed data also show that exclamation must be higher than relativization in a Split Force projection, with some more place above ExclP for topicalizing other syntactic objects.

          RESUMO O Português do Brasil exibe uma grande variedade de exclamativas-wh, incluindo as exclamativas sentenciais, foco principal deste trabalho. Exclamativas-wh sentenciais do português do Brasil parecem prover evidência para propor uma projeção de Força cindida na periferia da sentença (RIZZI, 1997), quando se considera a co-ocorrência de uma relativa e uma exclamativa no mesmo enunciado. Assumimos aqui que existem pelo menos dois núcleos funcionais em Força: um RelP (que hospeda Whs relativos), e um ExclP, que seu supõe hospedar Whs exclamativos; os dados analisados também mostram que a exclamação precisa estar mais alta que a relativização na projeção de Força cindida, com ainda mais algum espaço acima de ExclP para a topicalização de outros objetos sintáticos.

              Functional Categories and Syntactic Theory

              The distinction between lexical and functional elements plays a major role in current research in syntax and neighboring aspects of the study of language. In this article, we review the motivations of a progressive shift of emphasis from lexical to functional elements in syntactic research: the identification of the functional lexicon as the locus of the triggering of syntactic actions and of syntactic variation, and the description and analysis of the complexity of functional structures in cartographic studies. The latter point leads us to illustrate current cartographic research and to present the maps created in the study of clauses and phrases. The maps of CP, IP, and other phrasal categories all involve a richly articulated functional sequence. We then address issues of the numerosity and typology of the functional lexicon, the constraints on the featural specifications of possible functional heads, and the relations between cartographic research and minimalism.
