The article discusses multiple wh-movement in Bulgarian and argues that: 1) the order of wh-phrases in Bulgarian multiple wh-fronting reflects, up to the finest degree, their pre-wh-movement order, and 2) all cases which seem to go against preservation of order (leading to seeming violations of Superiority) involve selective movements. The paper also offers a detailed structural description of the various properties of both bare and D-linked wh-phrases, and suggests an explanation for Superiority in terms of Relativized Minimality.

Abstract
The article discusses multiple wh-movement in Bulgarian and argues that: 1) the order of wh-phrases in Bulgarian multiple wh-fronting reflects, up to the finest degree, their pre-wh-movement order, and 2) all cases which seem to go against preservation of order (leading to seeming violations of Superiority) involve selective movements. The paper also offers a detailed structural description of the various properties of both bare and D-linked wh-phrases, and suggests an explanation for Superiority in terms of Relativized Minimality.File in questo prodotto:
