Intervention effect in Korean wh-questions: Indefinite and beyond

I claim that the intervention effect in Korean wh-questions can receive a natural account with the proposed two ways of scope taking of in situ wh-words: in situ interpretation of indefinite wh-words via unselective binding by the question morpheme versus movement of way ‘why’. Also on the basis of the interesting contrast of the intervention effect in wh-questions with the two types of wh-words in various constructions, for which Beck and Kim (Beck, S., Kim, S.-S., 1997. On wh- and operator scope in Korean. Journal of East Asian Linguistics 6, 339–384) cannot offer a principled account, I claim that the intervention effect is not a movement but scope phenomenon as opposed to them.
