A dynamic semantics of single-wh and multiple-wh questions [PDF]
Semantics and Linguistic Theory, 2021 We develop a uniform analysis of single-wh and multiple-wh questions couched in dynamic inquisitive semantics. The analysis captures the effects of number marking on which-phrases, and derives both mention-some and mention-all readings as well as an often neglected partial mention-some reading in multiple-wh questions.

Adding a Third Wh-Phrase Does Not Increase the Acceptability of Object-Initial Multiple-Wh-Questions [PDF]
Syntax, 2010 This paper quantitatively evaluates the empirical claim that adding a third wh-phrase to object-initial multiple-wh-questions increases their acceptability (e.g., Bolinger 1978, Kayne 1983)—a claim that posed a problem for accounts of the subject/object asymmetry in multiple-wh-questions (e.g., Chomsky 1973, 1993; Lasnik & Saito 1984; Pesetsky 1987 ...
