Several phenomena in Passamaquoddy clearly distinguish wh-scope marking with 'what' from an apparently similar wh-copy construction. These facts argue for a theory of wh-scope marking like that in Bruening 2004 (based on Dayal 1994), where the embedded question is the syntactic and semantic restriction on the matrix wh-word 'what'.The wh-copy construction, in contrast, is best analyzed as spelling out multiple copies of a long-distance movement chain.This copy theory is extended to scope marking with tan and comparatives in Passamaquoddy
