| Description |
This paper takes as its starting point the observation that across many languages multiple sluicing obeys a clause-mate constraint. It develops an account of this constraint which is based on the assumption that covert wh-movement is clause bound and subject to superiority. With this analysis as background, the fact that the distribution of multiple sluicing is substantially narrower than that of multiple wh-questions, under both the single pair and the pair-list interpretation, then entails that there must be mechanisms for scoping in-situ wh-phrases that do not rely on covert wh-movement. A formal analysis of the scope of wh-phrases that meets these requirements will be sketched.
