On the lack of a (PF) phase in non-finite clausal complements

Slovenian non-finite complementation appears to be a good testing ground for determining the structural properties of non-finite complement clauses. In the first part of the paper, five arguments based on Slovenian data support the claim that non-finite complements do not have the CP node. Not having a CP means not constituting a phase, which is what the second part of the paper is about. In it, several arguments are used to show that the top projection of non-finite clausal complements spells-out to LF and thus constitutes an LF phase, while at the same time it does not spell-out to PF. That is, non- finite clausal complements lack PF independence but at the same time do not show any such phasal deficiency at the LF interface.
