ABSTRACT
Kashmiri is unusual among Indic languages in that it is verb-second, features obligatory wh-fronting, and also permits multiple wh-fronting. In this chapter I examine multiple sluicing in Kashmiri and examine this type of ellipsis in light of Van Craenenbroeck and Lipták’s (VC&L’s) wh-sluicing correlation. Following work in Gribanova and Manetta (2016), I propose an elaboration that permits this correlation to account not only for the facts in Kashmiri, but for additional counterexamples provided by Hindi-Urdu and (tentatively) Yiddish. This work suggests that it is not only the surface position of wh-material in a given language that determines the structure of sluices, but instead a wider set of properties of unbounded dependencies in the language.
