概要 The present paper argues that the specificational sentence (SPC) and the con- cealed question (CQ) derive from what we call the Functional Noun Phrase (FuncNP) which has the specific structure in which the head FuncN denotes a relation between its two arguments, where the outer argumentdelimits the semantic domain (range) of FuncN R, and the inner argument exhaustively specifies the semantic domain of FuncN delimited by the outer argument. With the inner argument moved to SpecFocP, we obtain the SPC. The present paper derives the CQ in a fashion strikingly parallel with the derivation of the SPC: We posit Op as the inner argument of the FuncNP, which is moved to SpecDP.
