Abstract
In the case of noun complementation or appositive clauses with ukuba in Xhosa which are selected by verbs, four arguments have been presented to arrive at a structure. It was found that the head NP in the full NP functions as an operator and that the EC within the complementizer phrase is a variable which is locally Abound by this operator, within the principles of the Government-Binding theory. The data presented also gives insight to the nature of ukuba, both as a fossilized Infinitive and as a properly functioning Infinitive with a verb ba, giving rise to Indirect Complementation.
