Move and Echo What?

• ARIKAWA Koji

抄録

Internal merge (IM) of wh-DPs to a CP-edge creates direct wh questions (DQ). IM of a wh-vP to a CP-edge creates echo questions (EQ). EQs are questions in the usual sense with the phonetics, syntax, and semantics we attribute to the algorithm involving the feature [Q] on C in DQ. “What did John eat? (↓; DQ)” means “For which individual such that John ate ?” “John ate what? (↑; EQ)” and “What did John eat? (↑; EQ)” mean “For which proposition such that (John ate )?” The analysis solves EQ/ D(iscourse)-linking puzzles regarding superiority and scope. The result of the island diagnostic supports the dichotomy. All that is required are the conditions of minimal computation (e.g. superiority condition), phase theory equipped with linear correspondence axiom (LCA) and anti-LCA, and the language-as-virus-check hypothesis. The analysis offers a solution to recalcitrant superiority problems in Japanese.
