Do we agree on the fact? what do we do with frames and localizations (in
French at least):

A Londres, qui a-t-il rencontre ?
In London, who did he meet?

La semaine prochaine, a qui feras-tu appel ?
Next week, who will you appeal to?

Syntaxiquement, quelle est la meilleure analyse ?
Syntactically, what is the best answer?

Long distance is not always very good (there may be variation):

?? A Londres, qui dit-on qu'il a rencontre ?
?? La semaine prochaine, a qui penses-tu qu'ils
feront appel ?
