Some issues concerning Algonquian WH questions!

This paper surveys a number of long-standing issues revolving around Ojibwe WH questions. The general question of whether the WH word is within or outside the CP (similar to relative clause antecedent) in Algonquian is discussed. In addition, the Pronominal Argument Hypothesis is briefly touched upon. A split DP approach, where the agreement serves as D, and NPs are in A-bar position seems to be the most promising approach. A brief comparison is made of verbal morphology associated with WH questions and relative clauses in some varieties of Anishnaabemowin (Ojibwe) and Nishnaabemwin. The main conclusion is that more research is needed, both on individual Algonquian languages and across them. 1
