Abstract
Analyses of extraposition from NP can be divided into those that suppose the extraposed material is base-generated inside the host DP and those that suppose it is base-generated outside the host DP. This paper presents novel evidence from the licensing of negative polarity items by the quantifier every in relative clauses extraposed from direct objects to argue that extraposed material can be interpreted internal to the host DP. These results suggest the necessity of an analysis of Extraposition from NP that permits extraposed material to be base-generated inside the host.
