Clause Mates matter
In this talk, we investigate multiple sluicing and multiple wh-questions in Bosnian/Croatian/Montenegrin/Serbian (BCMS). (1) Based on novel data, we argue that the Clause-Mate Condition (CMC) is operative in the case of multiple sluicing in BCMS, contra previous influential claims (Lasnik 2014). (2) We explore the CMC-related locality restrictions on multiple wh-questions and show that the wh-phrases must also originate from the same clause.
