In most cases, a wh-question calls for an answer that names entity in the set denoted by extension of wh-complement. However, evidence from questions with necessity modals and collective predicates argues sometimes must be interpreted higher-order reading, which this question generalized quantifier. This paper investigates distribution compositional derivation readings wh-questions. First, I ar...

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether early bilingual Basque-Spanish speakers, who acquired Spanish by the age of 5, comprehend Spanish wh-dependences as effortlessly as native Spanish speakers. Given that Basque and Spanish are structurally different languages, we hypothesized that predictive processing strategies from the first language (L1) would interfere with predictive...

ing away from much of the technical machinery employed by Bresnan here and in what follows, let me clarify the key notions involved here. A transformation T is an ordered pair , where C is a structural condition consisting of a number of terms, and M is a transformational mapping affecting these terms. The wh-movement transformation, e.g., can be encoded as the pair in (54) (I tacitl...

In this study, polystyrene ethylene butylene polystyrene (PSEBS) was functionalized to prepare mono and bipolar ion exchange membranes. In the case of the bipolar membrane, platinum was used as the intermediate layer. NaCl solution of concentration ranging from 5 g/L to 25 g/L was used as the feed solution. A commercially procured ion exchange membrane made of polystyrene divinyl benzene was al...

Åqvist’s paradox of epistemic obligation can be solved, if we use knowledge-wh instead of knowledge-that in specifications of the ‘need to know’: the knowledge which an agent in a certain organisational role is required to have. Knowledge-wh is knowledge of an answer to a question, which depends on the context. We show how knowledge-wh can be formalised in a logic of questions, which is combine...

A wh-phrase positioned in an embedded clause can be interpreted as having a matrix scope if the sentence is produced with proper prosodic structures such wh-intonation. In previous experiment, was given to 40 speakers of Gyeongsang Korean. script containing provided induce interpretation for wh-phrase. These utterances were prepared stimuli perception test verify whether wh-phrases perceived sc...

It is well known that indefinite phrases are more liberal in taking scope than other quantifying phrases. In general, the scope of indefinites is not limited by the finite clause in which they occur, although the scope of universal quantifiers is. Wh-phrases behave very much like indefinites: in languages with wh in situ, their scope need not be restricted by anything like clause boundedness. I...
