I will argue that besides sentential subjects that qualify as topicalized elements (cf. Koster 1978), there exist contexts where they are part of the main syntactic derivation (cf. Davies & Dubinsky 2009). Moreover, I will try to show how the categorical nature of sentential subjects interacts with their position in the clausal spine, paying particular attention on how labels are assigned in narrow syntax. As will be shown, such an approach is superior to previous ones in that it covers not only the standard cases but also some new and unnoticed facts.

We will try to 'reap the fruits' that the science of Artificial Intelligence [AI] has to offer in defining the notion search and problem/search space and see how far computer science can get us when it comes to complex computational architectures. As we will see, it turns out that we already have at our disposal a very articulated
