建立代表的层次或在派生中运动发生的点从来都不是一件微不足道的事情，因此仍然是一个持续关注的主题。对于显性运动，这个问题变得复杂了，因为原则上有两种成分的存在，这两种成分的运动可能对词序产生不可区分的影响：一种是导致拼写- out的衍生词，另一种是从拼写- out到PF的映射词。在很大程度上，关于这个问题的推理集中在a和a '-运动及其性质上；相比之下，头部运动仍然远远排在第三位。在本文中，我展示了日耳曼语中一个很少被研究的椭圆wh疑问句的特点，可以为这个问题提供新的线索，提供证据表明，在拼写出来之后，在PF的推导后期确实存在头部运动。所讨论的特性来自于日耳曼语言的一个子集的一系列数据。特别是在涉及某些介词的句子中，介词的[+wh]宾语不是以通常的头补顺序出现在介词后面，而是出现在介词前面，如(1)所示。
Establishing the level of representation or the point in a derivation at which movement takes place has never been a trivial matter, and as such remains an topic of substantial ongoing interest. For overt movement, this question is complicated by the availability in principle of two components in which movement could take place with indistinguishable effects on word order: in the derivation leading to Spell-Out, or in the mapping from Spell-Out to PF. To a great extent, the reasoning brought to bear on this question has been concentrated on Aand A'-movement and their properties; head-movement, in contrast, has remained a distant third. In this paper, I show that a little-studied peculiarity of elliptical wh-questions in Germanic can cast new light on this question, providing evidence that there is indeed head-movement which takes place late in the derivation at PF, after Spell-Out. The peculiarity in question comes from a range of data found only under sluicing in a subset of the Germanic languages. In particular, it is found in sluices involving certain prepositions, in which the [+wh] object of the preposition appears not after the preposition in the usual head-complement order, but before it, as in (1).
