Rather than homophony I claim that these wh-phrases are syncretic. I show that (a) wh-phrases and bare Universal Quantifiers are complex phrases, lexicalizing structures of different sizes; (b) partitivity and specificity are syntactic features. This last claim is supported by intervention effects: the interventions observed with negative and scope islands with wh-phrases in-situ are accounted for in terms of a feature-based Relativized Minimality (Starke 2001; Rizzi 2004). application/pdf https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8507566 http://hdl.handle.net/1854/LU-8507566 http://doi.org/10.1556/064.2016.63.2.1 https://biblio.ugent.be/publication/8507566/file/8507567 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess ACTA LINGUISTICA HUNGARICA ISSN: 1216-8076 Languages and Literatures French movement wh in situ nanosyntax prosody existential presupposition Relativized Minimality quantifiers French 'quantifiers' in questions : interface strategies journalArticle info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
