Abstract:
			
This is the most comprehensive, integrated explanation ever published
of the properties of question formations and their variations across
languages. Movement in Language develops a new set of arguments for
the controversial claim that syntax should be understood
derivationally; that is, that the best model of language is one in
which sentences are constructed in a series of operations that precede
or follow each other in time. The arguments are exemplified through
reference to a number of languages, including Bulgarian, Japanese,
English, Chinese, and Serbo-Croatian.
