Editing Partitive (section)

===A functional projection approach===
In 1995, Guillermo Lorenzo proposed a partitive (π), which is equivalent to the meaning of "out of" in English, is a functional category by itself and projects to a phrasal level. A partitive phrase (πP) is selected by the [[Numeral (linguistics)|Numeral]] (Num) and in turn the partitive head (π) selects the following DP. A Spanish example is shown below:<ref name=syntax />
