Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the existence of a DP layer on the top of NP. Based on evi-dence presented, (Left Branch Extraction, Zwicky’s test, Bošković,s Generaliza-tion, Noun/Pronoun Assymetries, Status of Determiners and Evidence from acquisition studies), I conclude that the NP does not project further, and is a maximal projection in a nominal phrase.
