In Cable&#8217;s account, QP standardly dominates the wh-word, and wh-movement is always of QP.  The question of how much material pied-pipes under wh-movement, on Cable&#8217;s account, is essentially a question about the distribution of QP.  Cable offers several conditions and parameters governing the distribution of QP.<\/p>\n<p>I will try to derive Cable&#8217;s conditions on the distribution of QP from Contiguity Theory, a series of proposals about the interaction of syntax with phonology that I have been developing in recent work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Norvin Richards Title: Contiguity Theory and Pied-Piping Date\/Time: Tuesday, Feb 25, 1-2p Location: 32-D461 Cable (2007, 2010) argues, on the basis of data from Tlingit, that wh-questions involve three participants: an interrogative C, a wh-word, and a head Q, which is visible in Tlingit but invisible in English.
