Abstract

In the literature, questions have received attention because they allow analyzing parameters and movements or the lack of movement typologically. The syntax of questions has also been investigated in Basque linguistics, although if one looks at the different types of questions, there are discrepancies between the analyses. The aim of this article is to provide a coherent and unique analysis of questions. For this purpose, I will use not only on typological data, but also mechanisms developed within the Generative Grammar, and I will propose that the sentence type is established between the nuclei of Force and Finite, but the question type is determined by the properties [wh] or [pol] of the variable under the interrogative force.
