Syntactic QR in wh-in-situ languages
Lingua, 1996Japanese is gererally recognized as a language in which there is no observable wh-movement. In this paper, it will be shown that there are two types of wh-elements: one identifiable as wh-operators and the other as non-quantificational variables.

Wh-in-situ phenomena in French
2009The goal of this thesis is to provide an alternative theory of how wh-expressions are interpreted. I propose that French wh-words are interpreted through an A-bar binding relation subject to a modified Generalized Binding Theory (cf. Aoun, 1985; henceforth GBT) which is an LF module of the Minimalist Framework (Chomsky, 1995).

How irregular is WH in situ in Indonesian?
Studies in Language, 2005Contemporary approaches to Generative syntax lead to the expectation that WH in situ would be subject to few distributional restrictions; but a series of complex constraints apply to in-situ WH in subject position in Standard Indonesian. We argue that this distribution does not follow from principles of formal grammar, but rather from a constraint on ...

Wh-In-Situ and Movement in Sinhala Questions
Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, 2005This article shows that Sinhala, a wh-in-situ language, implements movement of a Q-element to determine the scope of wh-phrases; this movement, which displays the behavior of a phrasal category, may be induced either in overt syntax or in LF. Covert Q-movement observes island conditions in the same manner as overt phrasal category movement.

Since Huang’s seminal work on comparative syntax, the research on the structure and properties of in-situ wh-expressions has come a long way. This article distinguishes four types of wh-constructions in terms of Q(uestion)-operator binding and the morpho-syntactic makeup of individual languages.

Deriving “wh-in-situ” through movement in Brazilian Portuguese
2013While languages like English have both dislocated and in-situ wh-phrases, but assign different status to the two types of question – ordinary questions or echo questions -, others, like French, take them as possible syntactic variants for ordinary questions.

Variable pronunciation sites and types of wh-in-situ
2007Examining data from Coptic Egyptian, the last descendant of the Ancient Egyptian language, this chapter argues for a new type of wh-in-situ, in which the copy privileged for phonological realization is the lowest member of the wh-chain, while the head of the chain as well as the intermediate copies are left unpronounced. Coptic can be described as a wh-
