Doubly-filled COMPs (which aren’t) in northern Italo-Romance

Résumé

This article examines Doubly Filled COMP (DFC), i.e. the co-occurrence of WH elements and finite complementizers in embedded and, to a lesser extent, main interrogatives. The study is based on data from northern Italo-Romance varieties, drawn from the Syntactic Atlas of Italy (ASIt) database. An exploratory quantitative analysis is conducted on a corpus of 2546 embedded WH interrogatives and 9583 main WH interrogatives elicited in 169 datapoints in northern Italy. The study tests and revises previous descriptive generalizations and proposes a formal analysis capitalizing on Cecchetto & Donati's 2010 labeling algorithm. The analysis confirms Bayer's 2015 hypothesis that DFC results when WH elements do not carry a {C} feature.
