In this paper, we aim to account for the distribution and interpretation of a novel class of free choice items in Romanian, which we refer to as additive free choice items (ADD-FCIs). We show that the internal composition of ADD-FCIs, as well as their distribution, differs from that attested for other free choice paradigms discussed in the literature. Morphologically, ADD-FCIs are a more complex variant of regular universal FCIs, by virtue of an additional morpheme. This morpheme plays an additive role when it functions as a stand-alone particle, and we propose that its role is similarly additive when it functions as an infix in ADD-FCIs. Couched in an exhaustification framework, we put forward a novel compositional account that can derive the interpretation of these ADD-FCIs. As for their distribution, these elements are only found in the presence of the conditional mood, as well as unconditional structures. We show how our analysis, coupled with the Viability Constraint used to explain the distribution of regular FCIs, can also account for their restricted distribution. In doing so, we further show how the pattern we investigate opens new perspectives regarding the licensing of free choice items in unconditionals.

在本文中，我们旨在解释罗马尼亚语中一类新的自由选择项目的分布和解释，我们将其称为附加自由选择项目（ADD-FCI）。我们表明，ADD-FCI 的内部组成及其分布与文献中讨论的其他自由选择范式所证明的不同。形态学上，ADD-FCI 是常规通用 FCI 的更复杂变体，因为它有一个额外的语素。该语素在作为独立粒子发挥作用时起着加法作用，我们建议当它在 ADD-FCI 中起中缀作用时，它的作用类似地是加法的。在一个详尽的框架中，我们提出了一个新的组合帐户，可以得出对这些 ADD-FCI 的解释。至于他们的分布，这些元素只存在于有条件的情绪以及无条件的结构中。我们展示了我们的分析，以及用于解释常规 FCI 分布的生存力约束，也可以解释它们的受限分布。在这样做的过程中，我们进一步展示了我们调查的模式如何打开关于无条件许可自由选择项目的新视角。
