The syntactic structure of independent order clause is summarized in (25 [immagine]). [...] We assume that independent order clauses contain a functional head, here represented as "Ind", that forms a particular "participle" - like phrase under T(ense)P. Given that independent order clauses have a special distribution in discourse, we might suppose that there is a selection relation in (25 [immagine]) between C ans Tns, and between Tns and Ind.
