Abstract:

This book addresses the question of how in-situ "wh"-phrases are licensed from
a minimalist perspective in which the basic assumptions about narrow syntax
need to be reduced to the bare minimum. I propose that in-situ "wh"-phrases
are licensed by way of either minimal Search or covert internal Merge: while
in-situ "wh"-adjuncts are uniformly licensed by covert internal Merge, in-situ
"wh"-arguments have a choice between the two options, depending on whether the
licensing C head is overtly manifested. I also discuss sluicing, an ellipsis
construction with a remnant "wh"-phrase, and address the question of how the
remnant "wh"-phrase is licensed. I support the in-situ approach to sluicing,
advocated in my previous book "The In-Situ Approach to Sluicing" (John
Benjamins), according to which the remnant "wh"-phrase stays in situ. I argue
against the more standard analysis, endorsing the main claim of this previous
book that island repair by ellipsis is a myth.
