Summary/Abstract: The paper provides an analysis for preposition stranding (P-stranding) under sluicing in Serbo-Croatian (SC). SC does not allow P-stranding under regular wh-movement, yet it optionally allows it under sluicing. I show instances of sluicing in which P-stranding can occur and I propose an analysis that accounts for this. In SC, D-linked wh-remnants can optionally appear without prepositions, whereas non- D-linked ones generally cannot. Following Van Craenenbroeck (2012), I argue that D-linked wh-remnants are derived differently from non-D-linked ones, resulting in the distinct behavior with respect to Ps.
