Wh-Expletives and Secondary Predication: German Partial Wh-Movement Reconsidered
In German, complex wh-interrogatives can optionally be formed by inserting the 3 person neuter wh-pronoun was in the matrix (Spec,CP) position, instead of long-distance wh-raising. It is generally assumed that 'expletive' was serves as a placeholder for a contentful whexpression lower down in the sentence, which substitutes for it at the level of semantic interpretation. It can be shown, howeve...
متن کاملAn ATN Treatment WH-Movement
An ATN-Parser is presented with emphasis on the treatment of those phenomena which in the framework of transformational grammar are subsumed under the concept of WH-movement. The approach taken tries to embed these constructions into an ATN grsmmar in a general, linguistically motivated and in terms of the ATN gr~mrn~r formalism descriptive way. To accomplish this goal the approach described in...
متن کاملWh-Copying in German as Replacement
This paper offers an argument for the necessity of adopting grammatical relations as primitives in syntactic theory. The argument is based on the phenomenon of wh-copying in German. Wh-copying in German poses a problem for approaches based on phrase structure (PS) representations because the construction is governed by two generalizations which a PS approach fails to capture. As soon as a relat...
متن کاملWh-Copying, Phases, and Successive Cyclicity
This paper re-examines the wh-copying phenomenon that is attested in a number of languages including German, Frisian, Afrikaans, and Romani, in the context of Chomsky's (1998, and later) phase-based approach to syntactic derivation. Wh-copying is traditionally thought to provide strong evidence for the successive-cyclic nature of wh-movement. Besides the more general problem of how intermediate...
متن کاملIntervention Effects and wh-movement
Intervention effects visible in many natural languages have been a lively issue in the syntactic and semantic literature in the last decade, starting with the seminal work by Beck (1996) and followed by a number of equally influential analyses. This paper highlights the limitations of some of these studies and proposes a reanalysis of intervention effects in terms of head movement. This paper a...
