Syntax II						Spring 2016
Assignment 11						Due Friday April 29


I.  Now For Something A Little Bit Hard

The following examples (and others like them) illustrate something new about
the constructions we have investigated in the past few weeks.

  (1) *Which book did Sue meet the man who Bill said wrote?

  (2) *Whose theory about islands could Jim have been wondering which class
	he should introduce in?

  (3) *The can that the pearls that the woman put in were stolen has
	disappeared.

  (4) *What kind of listening device did the police arrest the man who
	installed in the men's restroom?

  (5) *We fired the employee who nobody could figure out how much money
	had stolen.

First, show that these sentences are generated by your grammar; or if you
think they are not, show exactly why not.

If they are, what generalization can you state about what is going wrong?



II. A Possible Explanation

How much of what you observed in Part I would be accounted for if we assume
that all movements are successive cyclic?
