I begin by outlining some restrictive conditions on linguistic variation. I programmatically suggest that syntactic structure is completely invariant and that variation is strictly limited to morphophonological properties of (functional) heads. With this background, I explore a strongly reductionist program according to which syntactic properties are licensed by one of two mechanisms: spec/head...

Automatic Question Generation (AQG) is a research trend that enables teachers to create assessments with greater efficiency in right set of questions from the study material. Today's educational institutions require powerful tool correctly assess learner’s mastery concepts learned through materials. Objective type are an excellent method assessing learner's topic understanding learning process,...

Despite the a priori desiratum of assimilating the derivation and interpretation of wh-questions in Japanese to that in English, empirical evidence shows that overt displacement of wh-phrases in Japanese is not the same as overt wh-movement in English. The syntax of wh-phrases in Japanese is essentially the same as that of non-wh-phrases. Failure of scope reconstruction in certain cases is not ...

conclusions wh may control the glycemic level in people with diabetes, but it may be associated with minor and major side effects. further in vitro studies, using these seven compounds, are recommended to determine the efficacy and complications of wh in people with diabetes. results the average daily bs level and insulin dose decreased in seven subjects. two subjects developed generalized prur...

This commentary responds to the assertions by Foreman et al. that credentialing of women's health (WH) fellows by the American Board of Medical Subspecialties and accreditation of current and future WH fellowships by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education would improve the health and healthcare of women by increasing the number of primary care providers competent to meet a gro...

In this paper I investigate some child and adult data from an acquisition corpus of spontaneous conversation of some North Norwegian (NN) dialects, focusing on the word order of wh-questions. As is well known, many dialects do not have a strict V2 requirement in this clause type, and this is often interpreted as a process of diachronic change in the direction of non-V2 (e.g. Vangsnes 2004, West...

Cross-linguistically, questions frequently make crucial use of morphosyntactic elements which also occur outside of questions. Chief among these are focus, disjunctions, and wh-words with indefinite semantics. This paper provides a compositional account of the semantics of wh-, alternative, and polar questions in Yucatec Maya (YM), which more or less consist solely of these elements. Key to the...
