A question can be formed from a clause ('yes-no question') or with an interrogative.

          fun
            QuestCl     : Cl -> QCl ;                  -- does John walk
            QuestVP     : IP -> VP -> QCl ;            -- who walks
            QuestSlash  : IP -> Slash -> QCl ;         -- who does John love
            QuestIAdv   : IAdv -> Cl -> QCl ;          -- why does John walk
            QuestIComp  : IComp -> NP -> QCl ;         -- where is John

Interrogative pronouns can be formed with interrogative determiners.

            IDetCN  : IDet -> Num -> Ord -> CN -> IP;  -- which five best songs
            AdvIP   : IP -> Adv -> IP ;                -- who in Europe

            PrepIP  : Prep -> IP -> IAdv ;             -- with whom

            CompIAdv : IAdv -> IComp ;                 -- where

More `IP`, `IDet`, and `IAdv` are defined in Structural.
