| In many logophoric languages, a complementizer of this kind does seem to play an important role in logophoric marking. |
|
| Thus, Clements reports that in Ewe all logophoric constructions contain the complementizer be. |
|
| There is no need, at least not without other assumptions, that the apparent complementizer itself function as a demonstrative. |
|
| The relative pronoun could be homophonous with a complementizer, and this complementizer could cause mutation while the relative pronoun did not. |
|
| First, there are languages where the apparent complementizer — 'that', in English — is not homophonic with a demonstrative. |
|
| And even if there is a need for the complementizer itself to function as a demonstrative, there is no need for it to be a demonstrative. |
|
| However, strictly speaking, the analysis leaves open the possibility that that-clauses designate propositions by virtue of the combined workings of the complementizer 'that' and the sentence immediately following it. |
|
| By taking the determiner, a function word, to be head over the noun, a structure is established that is analogous to the structure of the finite clause, with a complementizer. |
