Zusammenfassung

In this paper, we argue that the syntax of whether/Q...; or questionsinvolves both movement of whether/Q and ellipsis of the type that hasbeen argued to exist for either ... or constructions. Three argumentsare presented: (i) English whether/Q ... or questions present at thesame time movement characteristics (sensitivity to islands) and ellipsistraits (focus pattern on the disjuncts); (ii)crosslinguistic data on the surface string syntax of Subject-Object-Verb(SOV) languages support the ellipsis plus movement account in general and,thus, indirectly also for English; and (iii) certain asymmetries betweenI whether/Q...or and either...or are resolved, permitting aunified account of the two types of constructions.
