Partial and multiple Wh-movement
Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, 1989This paper deals with two types of Wh-constructions that occur in German and Romani: partial and multiple Wh-movement. In these constructions a Wh-phrase moves to the specifier of a CP that is lower than the CP over which the Wh-phrase takes scope. In partial Wh-movement, the scope position contains a scope-marker, and in multiple Wh-movement, the ...

Abstract In the previous chapter we saw that clauses were headed by a functional projection which we labelled C. We saw evidence for C in matrix questions, as well as in embedded clauses. This evidence came from the phenomenon of Subject Auxiliary Inversion (SAI), which we analysed as movement of C to T driven by an strong [Q*] feature ...

This paper claims that the possibilities of movement of Wh-operators, as well as the scope possibilities of Wh-operators in situ, are constrained by a filter on interpretation requiring that an operator Op i having scope over Op j and binding a variable in the scope of Op

Wh-movement—the phenomenon by which interrogative words appear at the beginning of interrogative sentences—is one of the central displacement operations of human language. Noam Chomsky's 1977 paper "On Wh-Movement," a landmark in the study of wh-movement (and movement in general), showed that this computational operation is the basis of a variety of ...

This chapter considers some of what is known about variation in wh-movement and negation, and the extent to which parameter hierarchies can be constructed to account for at least some of that variation. A good deal of the variation surveyed in this chapter follows from the formal options allowing these special indefinites to receive the interpretations

Multiple and Short Wh-Movement as Wh-Movement to the Peripheries
2016In the talk I use Slovenian to explore the parallel behaviour of questions with multiple whmovement and questions with short movement (i.e. wh-questions in which at least one wh-phrase moves to the clause initial position but one moves to a clause internal position, cf. Citko (2010)).
