AgrO′ AgrO VP RefP is a checking-site for definites and specific wide scope bare numeral indefinites.DistP houses distributive universals.ShareP hosts bare numeral indefinites that are specific in the sense of Enc (1991) (i.e.range over individuals whose existence is presupposed), but that are being distributed over.Non-specific bare numeral indefinites, as well as modified numeral indefinites move only as far at their appropriate Case-checking A-position (which are assumed to be AgrP projections, but the model would work the same way with A-positions in Spec,vP/TP).A difference that Beghelli and Stowell assume to hold between bare numeral indefinites and modified numeral indefinites is that only the latter can reconstruct to their VPinternal base positions, bare numeral indefinites cannot.'John's i mother-in-law called John i .' f. *Felhívta János i János i anyósát.PV-called-3sg J-nom i John's i mother.in.law-acc '*John i called John's
