    Extraction
    quickinfo

    It is not possible to extract out of a UCV2, regardless of whether the extraction involves a referential element or a quantifier.

    Question formation cannot target a UCV2, as shown below:

    1
    a. Hy sei, dat hy hie de keamersdoar juster ferve
    he said that he had the room.door yesterday painted
    He said that he had painted the door of the room yesterday
    b. *Wat sei hy dat hy hie - juster ferve?
    what said he that he had yesterday painted
    What did he say that he had painted yesterday?

    Similarly, topicalisation of a referential NP cannot target a UCV2, as shown below:

    2
    *De keamersdoar sei hy dat hy hie - juster ferve
    the room.doar said he that he had yesterday painted
    The door of the room, he said that he had painted yesterday

    This ties in with the fact that UCV2s are syntactically not integrated in the superordinate structure in which they are found.
