The Grammar of Q - Q-particles, Wh-movement, and Pied-piping

Informationen zum Autor Assistant Professor of Linguistics, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Klappentext The Grammar of Q puts forth a novel syntactic and semantic analysis of wh-questions, one that is based upon in-depth study of the Tlingit language, an endangered and under-documented language of North America. A major consequence of this new approach is that the phenomenon classically dubbed "pied-piping" does not actually exist.
