New supporting evidence in favour of Cable's (2010) Grammar of Q is presented, as well as novel implementations of his original theory. In particular, it is claimed that wh-in situ idioms are characterised not only by language-specific choices between QP-projection and Q-adjunction, and between overt and covert movement of Q, but also in terms of the locus where they check the features relevant to wh-questions: while some languages check both [q] and [focus] in C, others make use of the clause-internal vP-periphery to check [focus]. Thanks to the vast amount of data presented and discussed, along with the predictions and theoretical contributions made, this monograph will be of interest to a wide range of specialists in human language, from typologists to Romance specialists and formal syntacticians, but also to the many experts in languages with overt Q-particles who wonder why Romance specialists have long been so resistant to the implementation of silent Q-particles in their theoretical models"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aItalian language$xInterrogative 606 $aRomance languages$xInterrogative 606 $aGrammar, Comparative and general$xInterrogative 615 0$aItalian language$xInterrogative. 615 0$aRomance languages$xInterrogative. 615 0$aGrammar, Comparative and general$xInterrogative. 676 $a455 700 $aBonan$b Caterina$01472255 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794405303321 996 $aRomance interrogative syntax$93684987 997 $aUNINA
