Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with a peculiar extraction construction in German,
called wh-copying. The peculiarity of this construction is that the fronted
constituent seems to be repeated in all intermediate clause initial positions.
This peculiarity is interesting from a theoretical point of view, as it raises
a number of questions regarding the way extraction is implemented in the
grammar. After an inspection of mainly new data from German, the thesis argues
first that the term wh-copying is a misnomer. The apparent copies of the
fronted constituent are actually independent elements, which however often
happen to be homophonous to the fronted constituent. Secondly, it is shown
that these independent elements are nevertheless subject to a number of
matching constraints requiring partial identity between this element and the
fronted constituent. The theoretical challenge posed by these two results is
the tension between them. On the one hand, the repeated element is distinct
from the fronted constituent; on the other hand, it has to share some
properties with it. The thesis then argues that this tension can be easily
resolved if the Arc Pair Grammar framework is adopted. In particular, the way
extraction is handled, the treatment of pronouns, and the representation of
grammatical relations as syntactic primitives paves the way for a simple
analysis of wh-copying in German.
