摘要：This paper investigates the sluicing construction in English. It has been assumed by Merchant (2008) among others that remnant wh -phrases in sluicing undergo wh -movement, just as in non-elided cases. By demonstrating that remnant wh -phrases in sluicing show the same behaviors as wh -phrases in situ, on the other hand, I argue that remnant wh -phrases can be in situ at least in certain cases, introducing the movement theory by Agbayani (2000,2006) and Agbayani and Ochi (2006), which is consistent with the wh -in-situ analysis of sluicing. The wh -in-situ analysis proposed in this paper gives a new perspective to the language parameter regarding wh -movement in that wh -in-situ strategy can operate in English single wh -questions.
