It contains a broad 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. The analysis is based on the minimalist syntax theory as developed by Chomsky since 1995. It takes up the standard assumption that wh-phrases are typical representatives of elements bearing new information, in theoretical terms referred to as information focus. Most importantly, in the languages without multiple wh-questions the information focus is licensed in a unique syntactic position. The basic claim is that languages with unique focus are languages without multiple wh-questions. The analysis makes possible the classification of the languages without multiple wh-questions into the crosslinguistic typology of wh-constructions. Furthermore, this book is a contribution to the better understanding of information structure in natural languages, especially of focusing phenomena. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/la.123.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027255068.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027255068.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/la.123.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/la.123.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/la.123.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/la.123.hb.png 10 01 JB code la.123.01ack ix 1 Miscellaneous 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Acknowledgements</TitleText> 10 01 JB code la.123.02abb xi 1 Miscellaneous 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Abbreviations</TitleText> 10 01 JB code la.123.03cha 1 13 13 Chapter 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Chapter 1.
