Abstract

We provide the first description and compositional semantic analysis of a construction that we label a "multiple wh - free relative clause" -- an embedded non-interrogative wh -clause with more than one wh -word. We show that multiple wh -free relative clauses are closely related to the more familiar free relative clauses with one wh -word ⎯- single wh - free relative clauses. We argue that an appropriate semantic analysis for multiple wh -free relative clauses can be grounded in the semantic analyses that have been proposed for single wh - free relative clauses, but crucially requires non-trivial broadening of the meaning of wh -words. Focusing on Romanian, we propose a compositional account of multiple wh - FRs building on two main components: (i) the assumption that wh -words can license complex traces/variables with a functional component -- an option that has been independently suggested for several other wh - constructions, and (ii) a new functional meaning for wh -words -- a close variant of the functional meaning of wh -words that has been independently proposed to account for functional wh - interrogative clauses.

揭示多个无wh关系从句及其wh功能词
我们对一个结构进行了首次描述和成分语义分析,我们将其标记为“多个无wh关系从句”——一个包含多个wh词的嵌入式非疑问wh从句。我们发现,多个无wh关系从句与我们更熟悉的具有一个wh词的自由关系从句——单个无wh的关系从句——密切相关。我们认为,对多个无wh的关系从句进行适当的语义分析可以建立在对单个无wh关系从句进行语义分析的基础上,但关键是需要拓宽wh词的含义。以罗马尼亚语为中心,我们提出了一个基于两个主要成分的多个wh-FR的组合解释:(i)假设wh-词可以用一个功能成分许可复杂的痕迹/变量——这是其他几个wh-结构独立提出的选项,以及(ii)一种新的wh-词的功能意义——wh-词功能意义的密切变体,已被独立提出用于解释功能性wh-疑问从句。早期访问

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
