Resumo: | Brazilian Portuguese (BP) can have the wh-element in-situ with two types ofsentence intonation: (a) the rising intonation of a yes/no question, in whichcase it is interpreted as an echo question, and (b) the falling intonation,similar to that of a declarative sentence, in which case it is interpreted asan ordinary question. Kato (2013) analyzed the falling intonation type as afake wh-in-situ, with a short movement of the wh-element to a lower focusposition, inspired by Miyagawa’s (2001) proposal for Japanese whereasthe rising intonation type was analyzed in accordance with Kayne’s (1994)proposal, with the whole TP containing the wh-element moving to Specof C. In this article we maintain the analysis of the wh-in-situ with fallingintonation as a fake in-situ but analyze the echo question as a short yes/no indirect question. The languages used to support this analysis of BPare English, French, and Japanese. |

Wh-in-situ Echo question Focus positions Intonation Brazilian Portuguese |
description |
Brazilian Portuguese (BP) can have the wh-element in-situ with two types ofsentence intonation: (a) the rising intonation of a yes/no question, in whichcase it is interpreted as an echo question, and (b) the falling intonation,similar to that of a declarative sentence, in which case it is interpreted asan ordinary question. Kato (2013) analyzed the falling intonation type as afake wh-in-situ, with a short movement of the wh-element to a lower focusposition, inspired by Miyagawa’s (2001) proposal for Japanese whereasthe rising intonation type was analyzed in accordance with Kayne’s (1994)proposal, with the whole TP containing the wh-element moving to Specof C. In this article we maintain the analysis of the wh-in-situ with fallingintonation as a fake in-situ but analyze the echo question as a short yes/no indirect question. The languages used to support this analysis of BPare English, French, and Japanese. |
