Interrogative Possessors and the Problem with Pied-Piping in Chol*
In this paper I present new data from possessive phrases in Chol (Mayan) and discuss the problem they present for standard analyses of pied-piping (see Heck 2004 and references cited therein). I argue that a theory of pied-piping in which features of a wh-word “percolate” up to a higher maximal projection is unable to straightforwardly account for the ordering facts found in interrogative posse...
متن کاملTowards an analysis of the adverbial use of German interrogative was (‘what’)
The paper discusses the so-called adverbial use of the wh-pronoun was (‘what’), which establishes a non-standard interrogative construction type in German.

متن کاملIntervention effects in relative pronoun pied-piping: experimental evidence∗
This paper contributes experimental evidence regarding the question of how relative pronouns are interpreted in English non-restrictive relative clauses with relative pronoun piedpiping (RPPP). Kotek and Erlewine (2015) and Erlewine and Kotek (to appear b) claim that the whrelative pronoun is sensitive to intervention effects inside its pied-piping constituent (cf Sauerland and Heck 2003, Cable...
