<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In generative syntax, '''CP''' is the maximal projection of [[COMP]] (C<sup>0</sup>). CP is in part an reconstruction in [[X-bar theory]] of the categoryp S' (or S-bar). <br />
<br />
===Comments===<br />
Thus the (anomalous) structure generated in (i) (see Chomsky 1981) is replaced by the X-bar structure generated in (ii) (see Chomsky 1986b).<br />
<br />
(i) S' --> COMP S<br />
<br />
(ii) a CP --> spec,CP C'<br />
b C' --> C IP<br />
<br />
Under (i) [[COMP]] contains both wh-phrases and the [[complementizer]]; under (ii) C is the [[complementizer]] position, and spec,CP the position of the wh-phrases.<br />
