Non-Interrogative Subordinate Wh-Clauses

Beschreibung

This volume explores subordinate wh-clauses that lack an interrogative interpretation, particularly those in which the wh-word differs from its literal meaning. The chapters draw on data from a wide range of languages, combining the study of cross-linguistic variation in patterns of subordination with formal semantic and syntactic analyses.
