摘 要: 本文对有关特殊疑问句的几个重要问题进行了较全面的总结和介绍。如特殊疑问词的解释、WH-词和量词的关系、在原位的WH-词和逻辑式移动的关系、多项WH-疑问句的研究和WH-词的功能特征等。 Wh-question has been a fascinating research topic ever since modern linguistics came into being,litef^s based on evidence from cross-linguistic analyses in this area are too many tO list. The studies ofWb-queshons in Chinese syntax, which is our primary concern, are believed to have originated in Huang,James. --C.T (1982a, 1982b) since he puts forward his ingenious proposal 'move WH in a language withoutWH-movement' and claims that Chinese WH-questions provide a strong case for the justification ofPOstulating LF movement, hence for the level of LF itselL The present icicle gives a comprehensive surveyof those issues in the studies of WH-questions, with emphasis on WH-questions in Chinese in particular.Different proPOsals are introduced to present studies on each issue in an objective manneLThe Present article is divided into five pats' Pad One centers on the non- intermgative use of WHwords in Chinese. In this par't, we first introduce the licensing conditions of non-intermgative WH-words inChinese, Chinese WH-words, like its counterpal'ts in Japanese, are not inherently interrogative (Aoun & Li,1993b; Nishigauchi, 1991). The differences between the WH-words in the two languages lie in the fact that anon-tilt^gative interpretation of WH-words in Japanese rests on the pwticle that c-commands them andWH-words are variables unselectively bound by par'ticles in the language. WH-words in Chinese, howevef,can be interpreted as an indefinite only when they are associated with licensers in affective environments(Huang,1982, Cheng, 1991; Li, 1992; Aoun & Li, 1993b), i.e. negation, yes-no queshon, A-not-A question,if-clause, 'don', and according to Huang(1982) and Cheng(1991), some non-f active verbs. Lin (1996, 1998)Provides a comprehensive survey and generalization of the distribution of non-intermgative existential WHPhraSes in Chinese that behave like POledty items. He divides the POlarity WH-phrases intO three ldnds,group A: negation, question and d-clause; group B: epistedric modality environment; group C: some sort
