This document discusses wh-clauses, including wh-questions, subordinate wh-clauses, and relative clauses. It explains that wh-words can appear in main or subordinate clauses and form questions or relative clauses. Relative clauses can be restrictive or non-restrictive, and the wh-word can sometimes be omitted from restrictive relative clauses. The document provides numerous examples to illustrate these concepts.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• Contents:
– Wh-questions
– Subordinate wh-clauses
• Subordinate wh-interrogative clauses
• Relative clauses
– Omission of the wh-phrase
– That again
– Restrictive vs non-restrictive
3. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
– Clauses that include a wh-word are called WH-
CLAUSED
– Wh-words can appear in main or subordinate
clauses
– Wh-word in a MAIN clause => QUESTION => WH-
QUESTION
• Yes/No question asks whether something is the case
or note.
• A Wh-question questions some constituents (the
subject, direct object, etc.) => constituent questions.
4. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• Wh-questions (MAIN Wh-clauses)
Vince is taking what to Athens?
=> Unfronted Question => Echo-question: they are used to echo
– and ask about – something said earlier
What is Vince taking to Athens?
=> Wh-question
5. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• Wh-questions (MAIN Wh-clauses)
Vince is taking what to Athens?
What is Vince taking to Athens?
– The formation of Wh-questions include:
• The fronting of the wh-phrase
• The fronting of the tensed auxiliary
• Wh-phrase moves above-and-beyond the C position
of tensed auxiliary => a second higher C position =>
introduce S” (S-double-bar)
7. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• Wh-questions (MAIN Wh-clauses)
– C1 (lower): Daughter of S-bar (S′) and sister of S
• Filled, in subordinate clauses, by that, whether, and
subordinating conjunctions.
• Filled, in main clauses, by fronted tensed auxiliaries.
– C2 (higher): Daughter of S-double-bar (S″) and
sister of S-bar (S′)
• Filled, in both main and subordinate clauses, by
fronted wh-expressions.
– THAT/WHETHER: simply complimentisers
– WH-expressions in C2 are always fronted from
within the clauses => have functions within the
clauses (indicated by the gap)
8. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• Wh-questions (MAIN Wh-clauses)
– Which books are you giving • to Bill? (• = NP)
– (i) Who will Julia give the pen to • ? (• = NP)
– (ii) To whom will Julia give the pen • ? (• = PP)
– How quickly did he drink that beer • ? (• = AdvP)
– How tall is Max • ? (• = AP)
14. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• Wh-questions (MAIN Wh-clauses)
– Consider this case:
Who is taking Violetta’s icon to Athens?
– Should a Wh-SUBJECT be represented as
actually being in the subject position or
represented as fronted to the C2 position?
• YES
– Should there be auxiliary-fronting in this case?
• YES
16. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• Wh-questions (MAIN Wh-clauses)
– For where, when, how, and why, decide on the
most likely category of the gap it has left behind:
• AdvP
• PP
• AP
How are you? => (Possible answer: well/good.)
Where did Lisa put it? => (Possible answer: under
the bed.)
19. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
How about…
– Whose poem did Stevens suggest would be ideal
for the lecture?
– Who did Leopold think Haydn admired?
20. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES

for the lecture?
⚫ would be ideal for the lecture
Stevens suggest S2
did S1
Whose poem S1’

22. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
– Who did Leopold think Haydn admired?

23. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Subordinate wh-interrogative clauses
• Martha enquired why he wore it on his foot.
• How he would fare on the trapeze preoccupied him.
• It is my affair what I wear at night.
• Marcel wasn’t certain who he sent the flowers to.
• The immediate problem was where they could hide
those fritters.
• The little matter of who is going to pay for all this has
yet to be resolved.
30. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• The conclusion [that Mars was inhabited].
• The conclusion [which Gomez disputes].
• The thought [that he should have done the washing up].
• The thought [which occurred to him].
• The claim [that syntax is good for the brain].
• The claim [with which he ended his lecture].

31. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• The NOUN-COMPLEMENT CLAUSES in [a] give us
central information about the head noun (the ACTUAL
CONTENT)
• The RELATIVE CLAUSES tell something else about the
head noun (PERIPHERAL CONTENT)
32. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• As complements, NOUN-COMPLEMENT CLAUSES are
sisters to the head N within NOM.
33. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• As modifiers, RELATIVE CLAUSES are represented, not as
sisters-of-N, but as sisters-of-NOM within a higher NOM.
• Relative clauses can be thought of as ADJUNCTS in NP.
34. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• *The one that Mars is inhabited.
• The one which Gomez disputes.
• *The one that he should have done the washing up.
• The one which occurred to him.
• *The one that syntax is good for the brain.
• The one with which he ended his lecture
One is a pro-NOM: it stands in place of NOMs, not Ns.
[One + relative clause]: grammatical
[One + complement clause]: ungrammatical
36. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• Omission of the wh-phrase:
– In many cases, the wh-form in a relative clause can be
omitted (by ellipsis)
The trampolines ^ they bought yesterday were dangerous.
– The fronted wh-form cannot be ellipted:
» when it functions as subject
» when other material has been fronted with it
*The fool ^ lent you all that money lent me some, too.
*A friend ^ house we borrowed needs it back next week.
*The claim with ^ he ended his lecture.
38. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• That again:
– Compare:
This is a proposal that we should support (•).
This is a proposal that we should support the strike.
The news that she had given John (•) shocked them all.
The news that she had given John a good kick shocked them all.
=> Relative clauses always include a gap
=> In that-clause (not Relative clauses), that is not fronted so
the clause itself is complete.
41. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• That again:
– An alternative analysis would insist that that is not a relative
word (in C2) but the familiar C1 complementiser, which is
permitted to make an overt appearance in (the C1 position of)
a relative clause only when the wh-phrase in C2 has been
ellipted.
42. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• Restrictive vs. non-restrictive:
– The books which John has consulted are out of date.
– The books, which John has consulted, are out of date.
– The dogs which have rabies are dangerous.
– The dogs, which have rabies, are dangerous.
RESTRICTIVE relative clauses specify more exactly which of the things
picked out by the head noun are being mentioned.
NON-RESTRICTIVE relative clauses serve to add extra – parenthetical –
information, without restricting the set of things (triangles, dogs, books,
etc.) being mentioned.
– The dogs, which are mammals, are dangerous.

43. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• Restrictive vs. non-restrictive:
As the modifier of a complete NP, the non-restrictive relative clause
must be represented as the sister of that NP within a higher NP
44. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• SUBORDINATE Wh-clauses
– Relative clauses
• Restrictive vs. non-restrictive:
– the wh-phrase/word in non-restrictives can’t be ellipted and
it can’t be replaced by that.
45. 5.2 WH-CLAUSES
• Summary:
– 3 kinds of clauses that can appear within NP:
– Noun-complement clause: sister of N (within
NOM).
– Restrictive relative clause: sister of NOM (within
NOM).
– Non-restrictive relative clause: sister of NP
(within NP).
