Abstract:
The extant generalizations about the grammar of space rely heavily on the
analyses of declarative sentences. There is a need to check whether these
generalizations also hold in the domain of interrogation. To this end this
book analyzes data from some 450 languages (including non-standard varieties).
The focus is on paradigms of spatial interrogatives such as English where,
whither and whence and their internal organization. These paradigms are
checked for recurrent patterns of morphological mismatches (such as
syncretism) and different degrees of complexity (e.g. the number of segments).
The data-base consists of a large parallel literary corpus (Le petit prince
and translations thereof) which is complemented by further sources of
information such as descriptive grammars. The data are analyzed from a
synchronic perspective. However, diachronic issues are addressed
unsystematically, too. It is shown that the distribution of phenomena which
characterize paradigms of spatial interrogatives are subject to
areal-linguistic factors. This is the first typological study of spatial
interrogatives. It provides new insights for students of the grammar of space,
morphological paradigms, and language typology.
