Popis: | application/pdf Journal Article This paper argues for a representational approach to the Wh-Island Constraint (WhIC), contra the derivational one in Chomsky (2000). Specifically, it is proposed that the WhIC can be deduced from a proper application of Cyclic Linearization, a PFrepresentational constraint. The proposal in this paper is based on the assumption that Agree into Spell-Out domain is possible, a natural consequence of the Activation Condition and the Phase-Impenetrability Condition. Island-repair by sluicing and asymmetric sluicing effects in WhIC and the Superiority Condition are explained. A proposal to eliminate the Defective Intervention Condition is also maintained. |
