Abstract
This article deals with the existence of a DP layer on the top of NP. Based on evidence
presented, (Left Branch Extraction, Zwicky’s test, Boškovi,s Generalization,
Noun/Pronoun Assymetries, Status of Determiners and Evidence from acquisition
studies), I conclude that the NP does not project further, and is a maximal
projection in a nominal phrase.
