Abstract

In this paper, I will discuss some types of variation in wh-expressions asking for reasons such as why, what…for and how come with special attention to their base-generated positions in the framework of the cartography of syntactic structures. I will first discuss why and what…for to illustrate variation in the base-generated position of wh-expressions asking for reasons. I will next explore a new dimension in the cartography of syntactic structures by discussing some variation in the use of how come and the complementizer that among speakers.

问原因的“wh”表达的变体

在本文中，我将讨论“为什么”、“为什么”、“为什么”等“为什么”表达的几种变体，并特别注意它们在句法结构制图框架中的基本生成位置。我将首先讨论“为什么”和“什么”，以说明“wh”表达式的碱基生成位置的变化，并提出原因。接下来，我将通过讨论在说话者之间使用how come和补语that的一些变化来探索句法结构制图的一个新维度。

期刊介绍： Linguistic Variation is an international, peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the study of linguistic variation. It seeks to investigate to what extent the study of linguistic variation can shed light on the broader issue of language-particular versus language-universal properties, on the interaction between what is fixed and necessary on the one hand and what is variable and contingent on the other. This enterprise involves properly defining and delineating the notion of linguistic variation by identifying loci of variation. What are the variable properties of natural language and what is its invariant core?
