I propose that these restrictions arise when [wh] projects past the maximal projection that it came from. When this happens, it intervenes for wh-movement, trapping the wh-element in its base position, unless it can escape through other means. The need to escape the domain of [wh] is proposed to capture the distribution of successive-cyclic movement and interactions with Voice in different languages. Different locality conditions in different languages are captured by different distributions of the same features and probes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The paper is open access: <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/LING.a.564\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/LING.a.564<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are delighted to announce the publication of our colleague\u00a0Elise Newman&#8217;s\u00a0paper, &#8220;On Projection and the Shadow of [Wh]&#8221;, in Linguistic Inquiry.
