================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

German allows for an intermediate wh-trace in C to be phonetically realized
if it is monomorphemic (Nunes 2001 etc):

1. wen  meinst  du  wen sie liebt
   whom believe you whom she loves

Chinese resultative clause also does not delete the lower copy of verb, like:
2. ta kan  shu   kan  de  hen   lei
   he read books read DE  very tired

I am trying to argue for copying without deletion. Does any of you here
know more data from other languages in this regards? Thanks a lot.
