Dear All,

I am looking for papers/information about the difference between
Japanese "ka" and "no" (as used in questions as: "Nani o shite iru
no?") I am trying to find the specific cases in which "ka" or "no"
can be used, and would be greatful for any help. Especially I am
trying to see if there is a link between echo-questions and the use
of "no" and "normal"-questions and the use of "ka".

Yours sincerly
