Focuses on a typological property shared by four languages: the ungrammaticality of multiple wh-questions in Irish, Berber, Italian and Somali. This book contains a discussion of data related to the grammar of wh-questions, a comparative analysis of wh-constructions in the four languages, and a theoretical account for the observed phenomenon.
