The results are then  put to work in a novel approach to some of the constraints on  dependencies between fronted interrogative phrases and the associated  gaps: superiority, weak crossover, as well as the so-called `weak  islands' (the WH-island, the negative island and the Factive Island).  It is argued that the possibility of fronting an interrogative phrase  out of these configurations is determined by a semantic\/pragmatic  condition on questions, which requires them to be answerable. The  analysis is worked out principally on Romanian, a language which  allows multiple wh-fronting. The results are then extended to English.  \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eAudience:\u003c\/em\u003e Researchers and students in syntax, semantics and  their interface, as well as linguists studying the relation between  the acceptability of sentences and the larger discourse context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-02-29\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792338048\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8688-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 196\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45658323681420,"sku":"9780792338048","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792338048.jpg?v=1776879032","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792338048","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
