描述 | .Interrogative Phrases and the Syntax-Semantics Interface.starts by analyzing the interpretation of interrogative phrases insingle and multiple constituent questions, including theirinterpretation under adverbs of quantification. The results are thenput to work in a novel approach to some of the constraints ondependencies between fronted interrogative phrases and the associatedgaps: superiority, weak crossover, as well as the so-called `weakislands‘ (the WH-island, the negative island and the Factive Island).It is argued that the possibility of fronting an interrogative phraseout of these configurations is determined by a semantic/pragmaticcondition on questions, which requires them to be answerable. Theanalysis is worked out principally on Romanian, a language whichallows multiple wh-fronting. The results are then extended to English...Audience:. Researchers and students in syntax, semantics andtheir interface, as well as linguists studying the relation betweenthe acceptability of sentences and the larger discourse context. |
