Head-complement structures in HPSG identify most properties of the phrase with those of the head
daughter, except for that valence property (e.g. SUBCAT or COMPS) whose constraints are met by the
non-head daughter(s) in the phrase. In this paper I present several phenomena in English syntax
where idiosyncratic properties of a non-head daughter in a phrase must remain visible on the phrasal
node, in order to preserve the strong version of the principle of locality in subcategorization. I
propose a general formal mechanism to effect this occasional transparency of heads with respect to
certain properties of their complements.
