<strong>of</strong> (4.38) <strong>and</strong> (4.39). On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>and</strong>, if <strong>the</strong> E-type anaphora analysis is available,<br />

why can’t it apply in examples such as (4.39).<br />

I propose that <strong>the</strong> externally headed examples are bad in IQ (but not Japanese)<br />

because <strong>the</strong> mere presence <strong>of</strong> pro in an IQ relative clause is not sufficient to establish<br />

<strong>the</strong> relationship between <strong>the</strong> head <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> relative clause. In fact, an external head<br />

must have a pragmatically reconstructable relationship to <strong>the</strong> clause which is its<br />

direct sister, <strong>and</strong> not to a clause which is fur<strong>the</strong>r embedded. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r h<strong>and</strong>,<br />

it appears that only <strong>the</strong> C which is selected by D can have <strong>the</strong> +wh/head feature<br />

which is associated with head-raising. In this respect IQ <strong>and</strong> CQ are apparently<br />

identical.<br />

4.5.2 Evidence from quantifiers<br />

The quantifier evidence that needs to be considered in IQ is truly vast <strong>and</strong> I am unable<br />

to do it justice here. I would like to comment on just a few aspects <strong>of</strong> quantifier<br />

behavior that are particularly relevant to <strong>the</strong> current question <strong>of</strong> movement.<br />

First, as has already been noted, strong quantifiers can take internal scope in<br />

relative clauses, as in (4.27), repeated here as (4.46).<br />

I should note here that I proposed (4.46) to my consultants initially with <strong>the</strong><br />

expectation that IQ was likely to follow <strong>the</strong> pattern I was familiar with from earlier<br />

work on CQ: <strong>the</strong> quantifier takes wide scope over <strong>the</strong> clause. Instead, <strong>the</strong> consultant<br />

invented a context to go with this expression in which <strong>the</strong>re was some quantity <strong>of</strong><br />

water in <strong>the</strong> kitchen, <strong>and</strong> Jose had brought all <strong>of</strong> this quantity to Ana, who had <strong>the</strong>n<br />

drunk it. Generally, consultants did not recognize any second reading <strong>of</strong> expressions
