Abstract

This paper examines the distribution of V2 in Yiddish and its effects on extraction. Specifically, we show that both Spec-to-Spec antilocality (Erlewine 2020) and minimality (Rizzi 2006) constrainwh-extractions from embedded clauses in Yiddish. This explains the pattern ofthat-trace effects in Yiddish, as well as the apparent absence of an escape hatch in certain constructions.
