Determining whether a noun licenses a declarative clause
In The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language (p 1351-52):
[7] i a. The stipulation that Harry could not touch the money until he was eighteen annoyed him enormously.
b. *The codicil that Harry could not touch the money until he was eighteenannoyed him enormously.
The Cambridge Grammar says this about [7]:
The examples in [i] belong to the integrated head + complement construction. Stipulation licenses a declarative complement, but codicil does not: hence the ungrammaticality of [ib].
I understand how stipulation licenses the declarative clause (that Harry could not touch the money until he was eighteen annoyed him enormously), but I don't understand how codicil fails to license the declarative clause (that Harry could not touch the money until he was eighteenannoyed him enormously).
How do you know whether a noun licenses a declarative clause or not?
