A major consequence of this new approach is that the phenomenon classically dubbed \"pied-piping\" does not actually exist.Cable 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 by-product of fronting the QP projected by this Q. From this core observation, he develops a syntax and semantics for Tlingit wh-questions.Given 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666765971744,"sku":"NEW0195392264","price":105.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51OMKTeU8-L.jpg?v=1778947442","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-grammar-of-q-q-particles-wh-movement-and-pied-piping-oxford-studies-in-comparative-syntax-0195392264","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
