本文认为，特化假裂缝（SPC）分为两种类型。在顺序为wh-clause < be < XP的SPC（A型）中，wh-clause是一个疑问句，XP是一个完整的有限IP，通常通过省略（留下DP，VP，AP，PP或CP剩余部分）来减少，这种类型也在QAP中起作用。在顺序为XP < be < wh-clause（类型B）的SPC中，XP（=DP，VP，AP，PP或CP）不是通过省略从IP缩减而来的，而是构成系宾句的主语，系宾句的谓语是wh-clause。该分析解释了“连通性”相对于负极性项的不对称性（在A型SPC和QAP中发现，但在B型SPC中没有发现），沿着QAP和A型SPC之间的其他相似性以及两种类型SPC之间的差异，这是竞争方法无法捕获的。
This paper argues that specificational pseudoclefts (SPCs) come in two types. In SPCs with the order wh-clause < be < XP (Type A), the wh-clause is a question and XP is a full finite IP, usually reduced (leaving a DP, VP, AP, PP or CP remnant) by ellipsis of the type also operative in Question-Answer pairs (QAPs). In SPCs with the order XP < be < wh-clause (Type B), XP (=DP, VP, AP, PP or CP) is not reduced from IP by ellipsis, but forms the subject of a copular sentence whose predicate is the wh-clause. The analysis explains an asymmetry in ‘connectivity’ with respect to Negative Polarity Items (found in Type A SPCs and QAPs but not in Type B SPCs), along with other similarities between QAPs and Type A SPCs and differences between the two types of SPC, which competing approaches fail to capture.
