Through original and highly detailed fieldwork on five under-studied languages of West Africa, Jason Kandybowicz develops a novel theory of the interaction between the distribution of interrogative expressions and the sound system of a language. The book also considers data from thirteen additional typologically diverse languages to demonstrate the theory's reach and extendibility.
