Resumo: The paper investigates the syntactic structure of wh-clauses in late Latin. The results show that, in sentences with a wh-phrase as direct object, the interrogative operator reaches FocP in the left periphery, with the finite verb raising to the Foc head. This spec-head relation accounts for why subjects and dislocated XPs (like topics or focus elements) can not be intervening constituents between the object wh-phrase and the verb. For wh-clauses in which the interrogative operator is an adjunct, the hypothesis is that the wh-phrase occupies [Spec,IntP]. Here, the verb does not move to the CP-field, thus explaining the possibility of intervening subjects and interpolated XPs between the adjunct wh-element and the verb. These results show that the verb second (V2) property of V-to-C movement, as seen in several old Romance languages, can be derived from late Latin, and not exclusively from a supposed influence of Germanic languages, as is assumed in the literature.

Os resultados mostram que, sendo o sintagma-wh o objeto direto, o operador interrogativo alcança FocP na periferia à esquerda, com o verbo finito movendo-se para o núcleo Foc. Essa relação especificador-núcleo explica por que sujeitos e XPs deslocados (tal como um tópico ou foco) não podem aparecer linearmente entre o sintagma-wh objeto e o verbo. Para orações-wh em que o operador interrogativo é um adjunto, a hipótese é que o sintagma-wh ocupa [Spec,IntP]. Aqui, o verbo não se move para o sistema CP, o que explica a possibilidade de sujeitos e XPs interpolados entre o constituinte-wh adjunto e o verbo. Esses resultados mostram que a propriedade V2 de movimento de V para C, como visto em várias línguas românicas antigas, pode ser derivada do latim tardio, e não exclusivamente de uma suposta influência das línguas germânicas, como se assume na literatura.PP/UFU2022-01-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/xmlhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/6053110.14393/DL49-v16n1a2022-7Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 16 No. 1 (2022): Número Atemático; 210-229Domínios de Lingu@gem; Vol. 16 Núm. 1 (2022): Número Atemático; 210-229Domínios de Lingu@gem; v. 16 n. 1 (2022): Número Atemático; 210-2291980-5799reponame:Domínios de Lingu@geminstname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUengporhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/60531/31795https://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/article/view/60531/35119Copyright (c) 2022 André Antonellihttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAntonelli, André2022-11-30T19:52:14Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/60531Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagemPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/dominiosdelinguagem/oairevistadominios@ileel.ufu.br||1980-57991980-5799opendoar:2022-11-30T19:52:14Domínios de Lingu@gem - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
