In this work we try to fill this gap by contrasting, in an argumental wh-island configuration (e.g. "… [who read …]"), which NP vs. what NP both in English and in Italian (e.g. which/what book and quale/che libro). We argue that while both wh-phrases can be genuinely considered "lexically restricted", the first, and not the second, has properties that make it allegedly D-linked (i.e. a canonical partitive interpretation is available). Our acceptability studies show that (in both languages) no significant difference is revealed in the scores attributed to the two extracted wh-phrases and no significant variance (e.g. indicating a binomial distribution) is observed in the condition what NP. e first result indicates that the "D-linking" hypothesis as an independent source of amelioration is inadequate; the second result suggests that also the hypothesis that the condition what/che NP might be ambiguous between a D-linked and a non-D-linked reading is unlikely.

This type of enterprise inevitably owns a lot to many people. We cannot even attempt to explicitly try to mention them all. We will only mention here a few of them most directly involved in joint work with us; many, however, will recognize their presence throughout the following pages. First of all, we want to express our deepest gratitude to all our students and young collaborators for their precious role in constantly stimulating new research questions, the careful analysis of available results and, in many cases, the conception of new designs; most of all we thank them for their enthusiasm which is for us the best and constant source of inspiration. We thank our closest collaborators and colleagues for their comments and remarks during many years of joint work and collaboration, and for their often crucial role in running some of the experiments discussed in this book:
