(28) Placement of interrogatives in content questions
Alternatives to be checked: movement of the interrogative phrase to the left periphery / movement to the left, but not necessarily to the periphery / interrogative phrase remains in situ / interrogative phrase in preverbal position / displacement to the right (often connected with a cleft-like structure)
e) Time adverbial

Background: This addresses movement (and scrambling) of interrogative phrases, which is more common in V-O languages than in O-V languages (except for perhaps South America and Australia).
