Abstract

This paper examines Spanish echo questions, an understudied phenomenon even in extensively described languages such as English. In particular, it focuses on a very particular type of echo questions, such as those made in response to a previous yes/no question (e.g. – Did you buy { mumble } ?; –Did I buy what? ) and makes a detailed description, on the one hand, of inherent echo features, common across most languages, and, on the other, those language-specific. In particular, I argue that wh-in-situ is not the only possible option in Spanish EQs in order to get a proper, echo interpretation. In addition, I offer some evidence from Spanish data in favour of a particular syntactic structure underlying this sort of questions (Sobin 2010).

论西班牙语回声疑问句中的“wh”运动
本文研究了西班牙语的回声问题,这是一种未被充分研究的现象,即使在英语等广泛描述的语言中也是如此。特别地,它关注的是一种非常特殊的回声问题,比如那些对之前的是/否问题的回应(例如:你买了{mumble}吗?;-我买了什么?)并详细描述了在大多数语言中普遍存在的固有的回声特征,以及这些语言特有的回声特征。特别是,我认为在西班牙语eq中,为了获得正确的回声解释,wh- situ并不是唯一可能的选择。此外,我从西班牙数据中提供了一些证据,支持这类问题背后的特定语法结构(Sobin 2010)。
