Book excerpt: Chapter 4 is a study of parametric differences defined over the hierarchical relations between functional projections. It shows what aspects of the hierarchy are regulated by independent principles and what aspects are governed by parametric operations. Chapter 5 further elaborates the theory of functional categories and shows that fundamental parametric variations across languages are defined over the composition and the order of internal layers of the Kase grids. Also, this chapter demonstrates by examining the cross-linguistically pervasive phenomenon of nominalization that the categorial parameter, like other parametric phenomena, can also be narrowed down to the specification of F-features in the lexicon.
