| Description | In this talk, I discuss three reduced structures in Italian that display morphological agreement between the past particle and the internal argument and have full illocutionary force despite lacking the middle field and the left periphery. Following Cecchetto and Donati (2022), I explain this fact by extending to object agreement cases Chomsky’s (2019) hypothesis that clauses are exocentric but can be labeled by a mechanism of feature sharing. I will also report the results of an acceptability rating experiment concerning these reduced structures and I will consider an extension to French reduced participial clauses.
