The aim of this paper is to account for the relationship between NP complements and infinitival complements for a particular class of verbs, that of so-called (semi-auxiliaries. The data examined belong to two Romance languages, viz. French and Spanish. For all verbs, both in French and Spanish, a definitional property is that they select an infinitival complement but never a that -clause (que P). However, whereas in French only few verbs also subcategorize for a NP complement, in Spanish the latter property holds for more than half of the verbs. This empirical fact is not only worth noting in a typology of Romance languages (section 1), but it also raises the theoretical question of how the universal category of auxiliaries ougth to be defined (section 2).
