A contrastive analysis of interrogative constructions in Romance: microvariation and theory

Résumé

The article is a brief survey of what we know about wh-questions across languages, and an

introduction to the specific contribution of Romance languages within a contrastive analysis.

Wh-movement displays some crosslinguistically stable properties and some parameters of

variation, that we are briefly reviewed. As for Romance, the phenomenon of wh-in situ in

French, of the ungoing grammaticalization of special complementizers, and of the systematic

ambiguity of free relatives and light headed relatives are briefly addressed
