The basic goal of the research reported here is to further develop the Parameter Comparison Method (PCM) by constructing a database of clausal parameter values in the form of a “parametric grid” of the kind developed in extensive research on variation in nominals by Cristina Guardiano, Giuseppe Longobardi, and others (see in particular Ceolin et al 2020, Guardiano & Longobardi 2017, Longobardi & Guardiano 2009, 2017).
