Editing Wh-movement (section)

==== In-situ ====
The following example illustrates multiple wh-movement in Mandarin:

{{interlinear|lang=zh|number=#1|italics1=no|italics2=yes
|你 想 知道 瑪麗 為什麼 買了 什麼
|nǐ xiǎng zhīdǎo Mǎlì wèishénme mǎile shénme
|You want know Mary why buy-PAST what
|'What do you wonder why Mary bought it?'}}

This example demonstrates that the wh-word "what" in Mandarin remains in-situ at [[Deep structure and surface structure|Surface structure]],<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rudin|first=Catherine|date=1988|title=On Multiple Questions and Multiple Wh Fronting|url=http://semantics.uchicago.edu/kennedy/classes/w06/readings/rudin88.pdf|journal=Natural Language and Linguistic Theory|volume=6|issue=4|pages=445–501|via=University of Chicago|doi=10.1007/BF00134489|s2cid=170344200}}</ref> while the wh-word "why" in Mandarin moves to proper scope position and, in doing so, [[c-command]]s the wh-word that stays in-situ.
