本文研究的是日语和僧伽罗语问句，这两种问句都使用了一种特殊的助词，称为Q助词，即日语中的kain和僧伽罗语中的damn，构成QP。Q粒子通常是在awh短语附近或在awh短语内部的岛的边缘处基生的。然而，在非常有限的情况下，一个Q粒子可以与TP合并，并且整个TP可以与CP的规范相结合。一个信息搜索wh-问题通常表示一组无值命题（即Hamblin集）;然而，我们声称有一组真命题（即Karttunen集）可以是信息搜索wh-问题的意义的情况，并且当应用TP pied-piping时会发生这种情况。每一种情况下，这种管道是可能的仔细分析。
This paper is a study of Japanese and Sinhalawh-questions, both of which employ a special particle called a Q-particle,kain Japanese anddəin Sinhala, forming QP. A Q-particle is normally base-generated adjacent to awh-phrase or at the edge of an island when awh-phrase is inside. However, under very restricted circumstances, a Q-particle can merge with TP, and the whole TP can be pied-piped to spec of CP. An information-seekingwh-question normally represents a set of unvalued propositions (i.e. Hamblin set); however, we claim there are cases in which a set of true propositions (i.e. Karttunen set) can be the meaning of an information-seekingwh-question, and this happens when TP pied-piping is applied. Each circumstance in which such pied-piping is possible is carefully analyzed.
