For example, the English which is also an interrogative word.

Note that more than one interrogative words can be put in a single sentence at a same time.

It is particularly associated with interrogative words (when, where, what, why, who).

Interrogative words are always the first constituents of a sentence or phrase.

Some word classes are universally closed, however, including demonstratives and interrogative words.

There are also Interrogative word adverbs, which are used to form questions.

When used with interrogative words, it forms the indefinite series of pronouns.

Some common interrogative words take on forms such as:

By replacing the subject with an interrogative word.

Other differences in case for interrogative words are mihinä (std.

(4) Its freedom from constraints to place interrogative words in sentence-initial position.

Another frequent source of complementizers is the class of interrogative words.

There are a number of interrogative words that are used to introduce questions:

The question focuses an unknown piece of information, often using an interrogative word (e.g. who, what, when, etc.).

Many relative pronouns in English have the same form as the corresponding interrogative words (which, who, where, etc.).

Questions are formed by subject-auxiliary inversion (unless the interrogative word is part of the subject).

Such particles contrast with other interrogative words, which form what are called wh-questions rather than yes-no questions.

See etymology of English interrogative words for details.

Interrogative words, used in questions, begin with do-.

The above principles do not apply to wh-questions where the interrogative word is the subject or part of the subject.

Some of the interrogative words can also be used to introduce adverbial clauses:

These use interrogative words (wh-words) such as when, which, who, how, etc. to specify the information that is desired.

Kak is used as an interrogative word.

But when the sentence includes an interrogative word such as the word "fuhka" which means "how", then the structure can change.

Also, in languages generally, wh-questions are marked by an interrogative word (wh-word) such as what, where or how.

The wh-word focuses a particular constituent and most of the time, it appears in clause-initial position.

The wh-word is the object of a preposition.

Also, in languages generally, wh-questions are marked by an interrogative word (wh-word) such as what, where or how.

In the first one, the wh-word remains in situ (and retains any case marking it has).

When the wh-word appears underneath a blocking category or in an island, the entire encompassing phrase must be fronted.

A wh-island is created by an embedded sentence which is introduced by a wh-word.

ASL also has questions where the wh-word occurs twice, copied in final position:

We can see that the wh-word, "what", occurs within the complementizer phrase that appears in the adjunct.

The phrases from which a wh-word cannot be extracted are referred to as extraction islands or simply islands.

In this sentence, the wh-word doesn't move, and so in the sentence that the child hears, there is no wh-trace.

Wh-questions are formed with a wh-word, which usually immediately precedes the predicate (verbal or non-verbal.

Non-polar questions (wh-questions) are normally formed using an interrogative word (wh-word) such as what, where, how, etc.

They suggest that the relative clause is headed (rather than headless), with wh-word being located outside the clause proper and functioning as its head.

Wh-clauses contain a wh-word.

The position of the wh-word across the matrix clauses (a-trees) and the embedded clauses (b-trees) captures the difference in word order.

(The wh-word governs the trace and is coindexed with it, so the trace is antecedent-governed.)

In wh-constructions, the object of the preposition is a wh-word in deep structure but is fronted as a result of the wh-movement.

The third strategy is only possible with predicative sentences, in which case the predicate appears in topic position, with the wh-word remaining in situ.

These examples illustrate that pied-piping is often necessary when the wh-word is inside a noun phrase (NP) or adjective phrase (AP).

In the matrix clauses, the wh-word is a dependent of the finite verb, whereas it is the head over the finite verb in the embedded wh-clauses.

In the case of wh-movement leaving a stranded preposition, the wh-word is fronted to the beginning of the interrogative clause, leaving a trace after the preposition:

In wh-movement, an interrogative sentence is formed by moving the wh-word (determiner phrase, preposition phrase, or adverb phrase) to the specifier position of the complementizer phrase.

In theories that posit traces, the position from which the wh-word was moved (in this case, the position of the direct object of eating), is considered to be occupied by a trace.

Here are two examples with typical intonations, where (a) does not start with a 'wh-word' and has a rising tone and (b) begins with 'where'and has a falling tone.

In the second one, the wh-word appears in topic position (it is followed by the topic marker kó and it loses its nominative case marking if it is a subject).
