Covert pied-piping in English multiple wh-questions
In this paper we argue for the existence of covert pied-piping in wh-questions through a previously unnoticed pattern of intervention effects in superiorityobeying English multiple wh-questions. We show that the preference of covert pied-piping is for movement of larger constituents, unlike overt pied-piping. We argue that this discrepancy stems from conflicting requirements of PF and LF: overt...
متن کاملEffect of name agreement on prefrontal activity during overt and covert picture naming.
In recent neuroimaging studies, various tasks have been used to examine prefrontal cortex involvement in semantic retrieval and selection.

In this framework, movement is subject to derivational economy, realized in conditions such as Minimal Link (MLC). In...
