Noun Phrases as NPs -- the case of Hebrew
			    Shuly Wintner

Data from Hebrew have been claimed to support the hypothesis that noun
phrases should be considered DPs universally. This paper shows that
the application of the DP hypothesis to Hebrew is based on partial
data and theory-internal considerations. A straightforward analysis of
noun phrases as NPs is proposed; it is shown to account for a variety
of facts that were believed to necessitate the introduction of
functional categories and compulsory head raising in Hebrew
NPs. Furthermore, this analysis provides a unified account for
phenomena that were overlooked in previous works, such as definiteness
agreement in the noun phrase and the similarities between construct
state nouns and adjectives.
