The venue for this lecture is the Department of Linguistics, Seminarraum 3, Sensengasse 3a, 1OG.</div><div class="">Regards,</div><div class="">Dalina Kallulli</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">"The syntax of questions”</div>[The lecture] will be mainly about yes-no questions. I will propose analyses of the main types of yes-no questions found among the languages of the world (initial question particle, final question particle, second-position question particle, no question particle). The working hypothesis is that since yes-no questions have the same meaning in all languages, they have the same syntax in all languages. This hypothesis has to be modified, though.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class="">
