{"product_id":"9780792340997","title":"Locality in WH Quantification","description":"Locality in WH Quantification argues that Logical Form,  the level that mediates between syntax and semantics, is derived from  S-structure by local movement. The primary data for the claim of  locality at LF is drawn from Hindi but English data is used in  discussing the semantics of questions and relative clauses. The book  takes a cross-linguistic perspective showing how the Hindi and English  facts can be brought to bear on the theory of universal grammar.   There are several phenomena generally thought to involve long-distance  dependencies at LF, such as scope marking, long-distance list answers  and correlatives. In this book they are handled by explicating novel  types of local relationships that interrogative and relative clauses  can enter. A more articulated semantics is shown leading to a simpler  syntax.   Among other issues addressed is the switch from uniqueness\/maximality  effects in single wh constructions to list readings in multiple  wh constructions. These effects are captured by adapting the  treatment of wh expressions as quantifying over functions to the  cases of multiple wh questions and correlatives. List readings  due to functional dependencies are systematically distinguished from  those that are based on plurality.
