一些研究人员声称 ASL 中的 wH 运动是向右的，这与左向 wH 运动的明显普遍性相反。与此相反，我们认为 ASL 中的 wH 运动是 CP 的向左说明符。我们通过独立动机的句法和话语因素来解释向右wH元素的出现，这些因素导致wH元素出现在句子或话语的最终位置中，而不是通过向右wH运动。我们的分析提供了各种 ASL 直接和间接 wH 问题的解释，并且符合跨语言概括。 *
Some researchers have claimed that wH-movement in ASL is rightward, contrary to the apparent universality of leftward wH-movement. In contrast to this claim, we argue that wH-movement in ASL is to a leftward specifier of CP. We account for the occurrence of rightward wH-elements by independently motivated syntactic and discourse factors which lead to the appearance of wH-elements in sentenceor discourse-final positions-not by rightward wH-movement. Our analysis provides an account for a variety of ASL direct and indirect wH-questions and is in accord with cross-linguistic generalizations. *
