Abstract
New observations about a variety of adverb effects, with both positive and negative effects on acceptability, suggest that adverbs link to and “parentheticalize" a complementizer. This proposal along with a further proposal that the coindexation of a subject-positioned trace with a C is the result of a representational simplification of CP, facilitates explanation of an array of facts concerning the adverb effect, relative constructions, complement constructions, and embedded interrogatives.
