Wh-prosody, locality, and lexical pitch accent in wh-in-situ languages

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.
