Despite certain parallelisms, DPs and CPs also reveal profound differences. Here, we focus on one crucial difference between them: the one concerning extraction. In many languages extraction from (complement) DPs is more severely constrained than extraction from (complement) CPs (as we show on the basis of Italian and Bulgarian, in particular). We derive this difference from a difference in the internal make-up of DPs and CPs in interaction with Phase Theory and a version of Rizzi's (2013) Relativized Minimality which partly modifies Krapova and Cinque's (2008) specific implementation to deal with multiple wh-fronting in languages like Bulgarian.
