A major consequence of this new approach is that the phenomenon classically dubbed\u003cbr\u003epied-piping does not actually exist. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCable begins by arguing that wh-fronting in Tlingit does not involve a syntactic relationship between interrogative C and the wh-word. Rather, it involves a probe\/Agree relation between C and an overt Q-particle (or Q) c-commanding the wh-word. Fronting of the wh-word in Tlingit is a mere\u003cbr\u003eby-product of fronting the QP projected by this Q. From this core observation, he develops a syntax and semantics for Tlingit wh-questions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiven the strong similarity between the wh-constructions of Tlingit and those of more widely studied languages, Cable applies his analysis to a range of other languages and finds that such a Q-based theory holds a number of interesting consequences in syntax and semantics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seth Cable\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195392265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeth Cable\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of LinguisticsUniversity of Massachusetts, Amherst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39930780090483,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_b1eac3ad-d975-498d-8868-6b609cae1b3e.jpg?v=1647699569","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-grammar-of-q-q-particles-wh-movement-and-pied-piping-9780195392265","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
