• Over the past 20 years, a considerable number of studies have been conducted on the effects of wh-movement in Second Language Acquisition/SLA. Most of the studies are concerned with Subjacency (see Subsection.2.1) and have been investigating whether Universal Grammar/UG is available or not in SLA. The purpose of the present paper is to examine syntactic properties of wh-pied-piping questions (Ross1967, 1986), such as 'What music do you like?'. The results of a grammaticality judgment task and an elicited production task testing for the relevant properties show that Japanese learners of English/JLEs tend to accept not only grammatical wh-pied-piping questions but also wh-splitting questions such as 'What do you like music?' in some initial stages in the acquisition of English. Furthermore, JLEs produce wh-splitting questions at a higher rate than grammatical pied-piping wh-questions. That is, they seem to prefer to produce wh-splitting questions to wh-pied-piping questions. Following White's (1992) proposal that the second language (L2) learner's interlanguage grammar allows two ways of forming wh-questions: wh-movement leaving traces behind and the base generation operation binding 'pro' in the following clause, I will basically support Gavruseva' s (1997, 1998) assumption that wh-splitting questions in SLA attributes to 'less costly derivations', and argue that these possibilities are the result of the interaction properties of L1 transfer and the 'economy' operation discussed in Chomsky (1986, 1995, and 2006).
