Explore the intricate world of wh-questions with Hadas Kotek’s “Composing Questions,” a groundbreaking study from the Linguistic Inquiry Monographs series. This essential read delves into the syntax and semantics of interrogatives, challenging the notion that overt wh-movement is always necessary for interpretation. Kotek introduces a novel proposal for overt and covert wh-movement, arguing that wh-in-situ undergoes covert scrambling, drawing parallels between English and German linguistic structures. Through insightful self-paced reading experiments and judgment data, this book offers a unified account of phenomena like pied-piping, superiority effects, and intervention effects. Discover a new theory of interrogative syntax-semantics that will reshape your understanding of how questions are formed and interpreted.
