“…Furthermore, if TMA categories are expressed by verbal suffixes, then they appear in the reverse order 'aspect-modality-tense-mood'; that is, morphology mirrors syntax. 21 island sensitive and island non-sensitive wh-phrases have structural differences (Tsai 1994;Murphy 2017). This does not diminish the importance of the discovery that islands are also in effect in wh-in situ grammars.…”

“…In a similar vein,Murphy (2017) proposes that island sensitivity of in-situ wh-adverbs correlates with their adjunction height: that is, vP-adjuncts are island-insensitive, while TP-adjuncts are island-sensitive. This proposal is based on an operator binding approach.…”

Correlations between island (in)sensitivity and base positions of (non-)standard wh-in-situ

It has been well-accepted in the literature that the island (in)sensitivity of wh-in-situ falls under the so-called Noun versus Adverb Generalization (NAG), which states that an in-situ wh-phrase is island-free iff it is (or contains) a wh-nominal (Tsai 1994a,b; Stepanov & Tsai 2008; Fujii et al. 2014). However, we show that the NAG is not sufficient to explain the island behaviors of some (non-)standard in-situ wh-phrases in Korean. Alternatively, we suggest that the island (in)sensitivity of in-situ wh-phrases may correlate not with their categorial status but with their base-generated positions: specifically, we assume that an in-situ wh-phrase that is base-generated in the CP domain (Spec-CP) is island-sensitive, while an in-situ wh-phrase that is base-generated below CP/TP is island-insensitive.
