HW10: Phases

Filed under: Homework notes — Paul Hagstrom @ 8:46 pm

By the way, just a quick note. In the last class, we met “phases”, which have as a consequence that a wh-word that moves from a lower clause to a higher clause has to stop off partway up. You didn’t officially know this prior to homework 10, so it’s not a problem if, say, you already gave it to me and your wh-words moved in one fell swoop. Or, for that matter, if you give it to me Tuesday and they do.
