In this article, I will deal with sentences consisting  of preposed locative phrases and postverbal determinerless subjects. Most  generative grammarians have analyzed these sentences as examples of unaccusative  or unaccusativized predications, in which the postverbal determinerless phrase  is characterized as an internal argument. I will claim, however, that these  agreeing determinerless phrases are nominative constituents inherently  predicative, which get referential content and argument status, thus triggering  a proper agreement relation with the verb inflection, its extensional nucleus.  In addition, I will argue that the sentences in focus, headed by intransitives  (unaccusatives and pure intransitives), but also by transitive verbs, are  complex existential predications composed of a locative main predication  modified by an activity or accomplishment secondary predication. I will explain  also why the preposed locative phrases are obligatory and must fill the topic.  Complex existential predication sentences in Spanish will be compared with  ne-cliticization in Italian and there-insertion sentences in English. The  semantic representation is based on Van Valin and LaPolla  (1997).
