<p>The passage below is an excerpt from my 2007 article on
coordination. There is subsequent work by Caterina Mauri on
the typology of disjunctive coordination that probably
addresses this issue in more detail.<br>

<p>Dear Tianhua,<br>
<br>
in Finnish the distinction is made, _tai_ in declarative, and
_vai_ in interrogative sentences:<br>
<br>
a. (minä) tule-n (tänään) iltapäivä-llä tai
huomen+aamu-lla.<br>
1sg come-1sg today afternoon-adess or
tomorrow+morning-adess<br>
<br>
'I will come this afternoon or tomorrow morning'<br>
<br>
b. Tule-t-ko tänään vai huomenna?<br>
come-2sg-INTERR today or tomorrow<br>
<br>
‘Will you come today or tomorrow?’<br>
<br>
Best,</p>
<p>Hannu</p>

Is anybody familiar with languages in which different disjunctions are used in declarative sentences and alternative questions? I am looking for further languages that employ a distinction between declarative '<i>or</i>' (either 'or') and interrogative '<i>or</i>' (whether 'or').
