초록

There exist several important empirical and theoretical issues in dealing with English wh-questions. Among these are syntactic connectivity between the wh-filler and its putative gap, so-called that-trace effect, and constraints in the formation of infinitival wh-questions. Many attempts have been made to account for these, but a few succeeded in obtaining satisfactory support. This paper offers a lexicalist, constraint-based attempt and shows that it can answer these questions in a simpler and more straightforward way.

Abstract

There exist several important empirical and theoretical issues in dealing with English wh-questions. Among these are syntactic connectivity between the wh-filler and its putative gap, so-called that-trace effect, and constraints in the formation of infinitival wh-questions. Many attempts have been made to account for these, but a few succeeded in obtaining satisfactory support. This paper offers a lexicalist, constraint-based attempt and shows that it can answer these questions in a simpler and more straightforward way.
