Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface and Acknowledgments -- Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Pied-Piping Generalizations -- Chapter 3. Theoretical Background -- Chapter 4. Deriving the Generalizations, Part -- One -- Chapter 5. Deriving the Generalizations, Part -- Two -- Chapter 6. Conclusion -- Backmatter
Summary: Pied-piping, the phenomenon that wh-movement may target categories not marked with the feature [wh], has generally been considered idiosyncratic and pathological. On Pied-Piping argues that this assessment is not correct. The book presents a compilation of crosslinguistic generalizations on pied-piping and a theory that derives them. Pied-piping is incorporated into a derivational theory of successive cyclic wh-movement that includes input-output optimization, the operation Agree, and phase theory. The resulting theory is a step towards closing a long-standing gap in syntactic theorizing.
