French Interrogatives in an OT-LFG Analysis
Résumé
The present paper approaches the French interrogative system from a non-derivational perspective, aiming to provide an analysis that accounts not only for its own complexity (optional simplex and complex variants of the same question in formal French and in situ questions in informal French), but for its differences with other languages (English) as well. As will be shown, the choice of the theoretical framework (OT-LFG) is motivated by important lexical differences between the two languages, which cannot be captured solely by OT-type constraints
