(29) Multiple questions
a) Can more than one constituent be questioned in the same clause?
Prompt: I know that several things were proposed at the meeting yesterday. Please tell me more:
Who proposed what?
Explanation: Make sure, e.g., by using a context of the sort given above, that neither of the question words has an echo-question interpretation. Other constructional types include, e.g., coordination (what did she fix, and how?).
Please use only interrogative pronouns, not complex expressions (such as which person).
If interrogative phrases go to the right in the language, please check in what order the two phrases can be arranged.
Background: Presence/absence of superiority effects in S-V-O vs. S-O-V languages
