We investigate the production of subject and object who and which-questions in the Italian of 4-5 year olds and report a subject/object asymmetry observed in other studies. We argue that this asymmetry stems from interference of the object copy on the AGREE relation between AgrS and the subject in Spec vP.

Abstract
We investigate the production of subject and object who and which-questions in the Italian of 4-5 year olds and report a subject/object asymmetry observed in other studies. We argue that this asymmetry stems from interference of the object copy on the AGREE relation between AgrS and the subject in Spec vP.
