本文提出了对晚期古汉语中wh-运动的分析，即子句内部焦点朝向vP的边缘。该论文进一步表明，古汉语 wh 词是不定的，就像现代汉语一样，它们的解释是在适当的触发器的 c 命令域中获得的，在 wh 问题的情况下，是 [Spec, CP] 中的基本生成运算符。 wh 词的非量化状态与短运动分析非常吻合，因为该运动并没有起到将 wh 词置于子句左边缘的疑问范围位置的作用。通过这种方式，本文也为有关 wh 运动与 wh 词作为运算符或不定词的地位之间关系的日益激烈的争论做出了贡献。这里的结论是，如果着陆点低于询问范围位置，则 wh 不定词的移动并不意外。
This paper proposes an analysis of wh-movement in late archaic Chinese as clause-internal focus fronting to the edge of vP. The paper further shows that archaic Chinese wh-words were indefinites, as in modern Chinese, and that their interpretation was obtained in the c-command domain of an appropriate trigger, a base-generated operator in [Spec, CP] in the case of wh-questions. The non-quantificational status of wh-words accords well with the short movement analysis since this movement did not serve to place the wh-word in the interrogative scope position in the left periphery of the clause. In this way, the paper also offers a contribution to the growing debate concerning the relationship between wh-movement and the status of wh-words as operators or indefinites. The conclusion here is that movement of wh-indefinites is not unexpected if the landing site is lower than the interrogative scope position.
