Wh-Questions

A Case study in Czech

Ludmila Veselovská


The study describes and analyses th Wh-questions in Czech, concentrating on both simple and complex direct wh-questions. It demonstrates that Wh-movement exists in the format comparable with other languages - explicit comarison in made with English. The monograph concentrates on language specific characteristics: the violation of Left Branch Constraint and multiple Wh-structures. It ranks Czech among other Slavic languages following the taxonomy based on present day literature. Special chapters are devoted to the lack of a long distance movement, Supperiority effects, That-trace effect and Doubly Filled Comlementizer Constraint. Corpus data (demonstrated in Appendix) are used and analysed to argue about the left casual periphery in Czech.
