Summary

Description
English: A syntax tree showing feature-driven wh-movement under Minimalist assumptions. Extraneous features have been omitted.

The tree was generated in LaTeX with the jTree package for PSTricks. The code is given below.

\begin{jtree}[xunit=2.25em, yunit=3ex]

% Requires package ulem
\def\feat#1{\sc[#1]}%
\def\\{[labelgapb=-.75ex]}%

\! = {C}
    <left>{D}\\{\sout{\feat{wh}}}\\{\rnode{Wh}{\emph{what}}}
    ^<right>{C}
    <left>{C}\\{\sout{\feat{wh*}}}\\{\emph{will}}
    ^<right>{T}
    <left>{D}\\{\emph{he}}
    ^<right>[]{T}
    <left>[]{T}\\{<\emph{will}>}
    ^<right>[]{V}
    <left>[]{D}\\{<\emph{he}>}
    ^<right>[]{V}
    <left>[]{V}\\{\emph{buy}}
    ^<right>{D}\\{\feat{wh}}\\{\rnode{tWh}{<\emph{what}>}}.

\nccurve[angleA=-150, angleB=-90, nodesep=2pt, ncurv=0.875]{->}{tWh}{Wh}
