Peripheries in Kashmiri and Hindi-Urdu; Editorial page; Title page; LCC data; Table of contents; Acknowledgements; 1. Introduction; 2. Feature Stacking; 3. Full and partial wh-movement in Kashmiri; 4. Wh-expletives in Hindi-Urdu; 5. Sluicing in Hindi-Urdu; 6. Conclusions; References; Index.

Summary: This research monograph is an investigation of wh-movement and wh-expletive constructions in the Indic languages Kashmiri and Hindi-Urdu. It advances a novel theory of the periphery, or the clausal positions that mediate A-bar movement. In particular, a detailed study of wh-expletives and wh-expletive constructions reveals an underlying similarity of design between the A and A-bar systems, and indicates that the two can be understood as driven by the same basic set of mechanisms. The monograph offers an account of wh-movement and the clausal periphery in the two languages, informed by the late.
