Multiple WH-questions in Polish: a two-COMP analysis
Władysław Cichocki · 1983
This paper examines the structure of multiple wh-word sequences in Polish. It is shown that an analysis which permits a proliferation of COMP nodes does not account for certain distributional facts. These are better represented in a two-constituent structure which is also suggestive in accounting for extraction. Furthermore, the two-constituent analysis has motivation in an extension of minimal c-command. Consequences for the doubly-filled COMP filter, the Absorption rule and subjacency are mentioned.
