僧伽罗语是一种wh-原位语言，它通过Q-成分的移动来确定wh-短语的范围，这种移动既可以通过显性句法也可以通过LF来诱导，表现出短语范畴的行为。隐性Q-运动观察孤岛条件的方式与显性短语类别运动相同。当Q-移动选项不可用时，僧伽罗语使用一种策略，直接在其局部作用域位置合并一个空运算符，以固定一个wh-短语的作用域。
This article shows that Sinhala, a wh-in-situ language, implements movement of a Q-element to determine the scope of wh-phrases; this movement, which displays the behavior of a phrasal category, may be induced either in overt syntax or in LF. Covert Q-movement observes island conditions in the same manner as overt phrasal category movement. When the option of Q-movement is not available, Sinhala makes use of a strategy to merge a null operator directly in its local scope position to fix the scope of a wh-phrase.
