A new monoclonal antibody (termed WH-1; isotype IgG2b) was established using a homogenate of dissected guinea pig cochleas (N = 60) as immunogen. Western blotting and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) identified the WH-1 antigen as a protein or glycoprotein with M(r) approximately 40 kDa. Immunoperoxidase treatment of histologic cryosections of guinea pig coch...

The paper discusses the so-called adverbial use of the wh-pronoun was (‘what’), which establishes a non-standard interrogative construction type in German. It argues that the adverbial use of was (‘what’) is based on the lexical properties of a categorically deficient pronoun was (‘what’), which bears a causal meaning. In addition, adverbial was (‘what’) differs from canonical argument was (‘wh...

The present research utilized aspects of the Principles and Parameters Approach (P&PA; Chomsky, 1991, 1993) in linguistic theory as well as findings from the psycholinguistic literature as a basis for examining sentence production in aphasic individuals. We examined the production of particular wh-movement constructions--wh-questions requiring movement of an argument noun phrase (i.e., who and ...

The present paper reports an analysis of correct wh-question production and subject-auxiliary inversion errors in one child's early wh-question data (age 2;3.4 to 4;10.23). It is argued that two current movement rule accounts (DeVilliers, 1991; Valian, Lasser & Mandelbaum, 1992) cannot explain the patterning of early wh-questions. However, the data can be explained in terms of the child's knowl...

In gapping, topical indefinites as well as wh-phrases can contrast with surface-identical antecedents if the contrast involved is the first of the two (or more) contrast pairs in the gapping coordination. This is not possible for most other types of expressions. We argue that both topical indefinites and wh-phrases introduce a discourse referent with a fixed address, on the basis of which refer...

I argue that overt movement cannot always be triggered by a need to create specifier for the head bearing Probe, as commonly assumed. In Tagalog, claim, best description of behavior wh-phrases is they must become linearly adjacent C; show Tagalog in fact occupy several different structural positions which are consistent with this linear requirement.

Changes in the word's position and structure's construction are a system by which some words move from one to another due linguistic factors such as morphology syntax. This movement is not limited alone; it also possible phrases. Constraints that regulate process govern these changes. The syntactic structure commonly influenced aspect dialect languages. sentence structure, including all types o...

In this article, we are concerned with the syntactic structure of questions in Marshallese. We explore both whand polar questions in turn: Section 2 is dedicated to wh-questions, where, applying diagnostics suggested by Adger and Ramchand (2005, henceforth AR), we conclude that a base generation analysis is more empirically adequate for Marshallese than a movement account. In Section 3 we discu...
