This paper develops a syntactic account of pseudoclefts that is consonant with current attempts to develop a strictly derivational account of syntactic relations. In what follows, I show that recent proposals in the realm of the higher functional field, remnant movement, and binding conspire to yield a simple view on (specificational) pseudoclefts.
