Under most theories, the fact that a certain lexical item selects two or more categories of complements is not assumed to have any consequences with respect to any single derivation in which the item appears. Thus the fact that believe selects a clause is taken to play no part in, and hence to be irrelevant to the derivation underlying (la). In this note I examine facts concerning clausally complemented PPs in English which suggest that, contrary to this view, multiple subcategorization may indeed play a Substantive role in derivations. In particular, I examine movement effects in certain PPs that appear to depend on the combined subcategorization properties of their prepositional heads. I argue that this observation can be accounted for by allowing "multiple selection", whereby a lexical item Caseand Θ-marks different complements at different levels of representation in a single derivation. I suggest that this proposal follows under one plausible reading of the Projection Principle of Chomsky (1981, 1986a).
