Multiple-speci®er requirement of Cm-spec (revised) (79) Except in questions where a wh-phrase is D-linked, Cm-spec requires more than one wh-speci®er. Alternatively, D-linked multiple questions might be formed (and receive normal ``pair-list'' readings) with the complementizer otherwise reserved 42 Chapter 4 for nonmultiple questions: the interrogative complementizer C1-spec that takes only one wh-phrase as speci®er. On this view we would not need the exception clause built into (79), but we would need to understand why the semantics of D-linked multiple questions allows a complementizer that is otherwise not found in such questions.
