    abstract = {The current study investigates the contrastive
analysis of grammatical variation between Urdu and
English in the sense of WH-movement. The basic purpose
of this study is to explore, the structural patterns of WHmovement
in Urdu and English and Urdu language
terminologies and syntactic variations related to WHmovement.
Furthermore, similarities and differences
between Urdu and English studied. In conclusion, this
study claimed that WH-movement is obligatory in English
but not in Urdu. The sentences in English are moved with
the WH-movement but in Urdu, it is optional. The
movement of the sentences was not openly shown in Urdu
on the other hand clearly shown in English. The results
show that the element of [+WH, Extended projection
principle] provokes the development of WH-movement.
This study provides an exciting opportunity to advance
our knowledge of WH-movement and is also valuable for
the students and researchers to understand the idea of
linguistic structure overall and especially in the WHmovement.}
