More about the book
The essay delves into wh-movement in English through the lens of Chomsky's Government and Binding theory, emphasizing its role in interrogative sentences. It begins with an overview of the theory and defines wh-movement, followed by a discussion on various types and constraints, particularly Ross's island constraints and Chomsky's Subjacency. The analysis addresses why some sentences appear to violate wh-island constraints while remaining acceptable to native speakers. Finally, it briefly explores wh-movement within the Minimalist Program, the successor to GB.
