This paper reviews the treatment of wh-question facts offered by Lappin and Johnson 1996, and suggests that their account of certain island phenomena should be adapted by assuming that certain phrase structures license binding of inherited features. In Japanese, Lappin and Johnson's INHERILQUE feature appears to be dependent on INHERIQUE in order to terminate with a functional C head's TO-BINDI...
This article presents two questionnaire experiments that investigate the processing complexity of a variety of nested constructions in Japanese. The first experiment demonstrated that embedded structures containing a direct object NP in the most embedded clause were more complex than comparable nested structures that lacked an object NP in the most embedded clause. The second experiment demonst...
Individuals with agrammatism have specific problems with the production of movement-derived non-canonical sentence structures which, according to the Tree Pruning Hypothesis (TPH, Friedmann & Grodzinsky, 1997; Friedmann, 2001), are due to an inability to access hierarchically higher nodes of the syntactic tree. Thus, movement-derived structures relying on higher nodes in the syntactic tree cann...
This paper offers an account of the fact that certain verbs license wh-questions as their complement but not whether-questions. For instance, it is felicitous to say It is surprising who Bill had invited but not to say It is surprising whether Bill had invited his wife. We refer to this contrast as the *whether puzzle. We propose an account which crucially rests on the assumption that the relev...
Certain types of wh-phrases (e.g. how, why) cannot be extracted from the complement clause of a factive predicate, nor can they occur in situ within it (the factive island effect). This paper argues that the factive island effect is a pragmatic phenomenon, which follows from two independent factors: (i) the speaker’s expectation about possible answers of wh-interrogatives, and (ii) presuppositi...
Multiple interrogatives like (1a) readily admit paired answers like (1b). That answers to (2a) and (3a) also pair values for two wh-expressions instead of one has therefore been taken as evidence that two whs have matrix scope. In the case of (2a) the wh-in-situ thought to have wide scope is inside a wh-complement; in the case of (3a) it is inside an adjunct. Wh-in-situ, it would appear, can ta...
In this paper I wish to discuss an interesting constraint on the interpretation of the Italian infinitive in subordinate clauses introduced by an interrogative or relative phrase (for short, "wh-infinitives"). Firstly, observe that in an infinitival declarative complement, as in (1), the compound infinitive describes an event which is temporally located before the event or state described by th...
We demonstrate how the type-theoretical approach to integrating syntax and semantics provides a straightforward, coherent and empirically accurate account of the basic facts of German word order. We focus on the order of adjuncts and arguments in the clause core for a representative range of German construction types: subordinate verb-nal, interrogative verb-initial, declarative verb-second, an...
Park, Sang-Hee. 2009. Resolving Multiple fdo.fragments in English: A Syntax-Pragmatics Approach. SNU Working Papers in English Lingnistics and Langnage 8, 16-27. This study attempts to provide a new analysis of multiple wh·fragments, the so-called 'multiple sluicing', in English. Against previous approaches which resort to a reconslruction-based resolution or gapping, the proposed analysis capt...
