The present paper offers further independent evidence for the functional projection INT(errogative) in the left periphery of the sentence (Rizzi 2001) that is needed for an adequate analysis of interrogative clauses in Catalan and Occitan Pyrenees dialects. Since they show a particle se preceding a wh phrase as an instance of the so called “doubly filled complementizer”, according to the central hypothesis of this paper, the INT head is required in order to properly accommodate this element.
Aquest article ofereix més indicis independents de la projecció funcional INT(errogatiu) de la perifèria esquerra de l’oració (Rizzi 2001), que és necessària per a una anàlisi adequada de les oracions interrogatives dels dialectes pirinencs del català i l’occità. Com que aquests dialectes mostren una partícula se que precedeix un sintagma qu, com a manifestació de l’anomenat «com- plementador doblement omplert», segons la hipòtesi central d’aquest article el nucli INT és reque- rit per tal d’acomodar adequadament aquest element.
