Abstract

Abstract Wh -doubling is a widely attested phenomenon in sign languages. Several analyses are found in the literature assuming, for example, base-generation of one of the doubles or making (heavy) use of remnant movement. Using data from German Sign Language, this article discusses the possibility that the structure might be derived from a relative clause embedded under a wh -question which finally undergoes sluicing. It will be argued that such an account correctly predicts the distribution of the wh -phrases found in German Sign Language doubling constructions.

德语手语中wh的双重发音

Wh - double是一种被广泛证实的手语现象。在文献中发现了一些分析，例如，假设其中一个双打的基础生成或(大量)使用残余运动。本文利用德语手语的数据，讨论了该结构可能是由嵌入在“为什么”疑问句下的关系从句派生出来的，而这个关系从句最终经历了“水”的过程。我们认为，这种解释正确地预测了德语手语中“wh”短语的分布。

期刊介绍： Sign Language & Linguistics is a peer-reviewed, international journal which aims to increase our understanding of language by providing an academic forum for researchers to discuss sign languages in the larger context of natural language, crosslinguistically and crossmodally. SLL presents studies that apply existing theoretical insights to sign language in order to further our understanding of SL; it investigates and expands our knowledge of grammar based on the study of SL and it specifically addresses the effect of modality (signed vs. spoken) on the structure of grammar.
