# Questions and interrogative pronouns

        abstract Question = Cat ** {

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

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

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