This talk provides new evidence in favor of the configurational view of the
Adjunct Condition, which relies on the structural complement vs. adjunct
distinction, rather than the semantic one (modifier vs. non-modifier). The
evidence comes from Balkar (dialect of Karachay-Balkar, Turkic). This work
also provides an argument for Bare Phrase Structure (Chomsky 1994), because
only in this framework the complement vs. adjunct distinction is separate
from the modifier vs. non-modifier one.
