DP- and WH-Movement • Not only verbs can move, but also phrases such as the man or who (cf. Chapters 10-12). Who(m) did you say Paul hit ___? Who(m) did you say that Paul hit ___ ? • In English wh-phrases have to move to the front. • In case of embedded questions they move to the front of the embedded clause. I know who(m) Paul hit ___. • Embedded questions are not introduced by complementizers. *I know who(m) that Paul hit ___. I know that Paul hit Bill. 27.05.2008 Some slides are adapted from material of A. Carnie 55
