Unique Focus: Languages without multiple wh-questions
This monograph focuses on an interesting typological property shared by four languages: the ungrammaticality of multiple wh-questions in Irish, Berber, Italian and Somali.

The analysis is based on the minimalist syntax theory as developed by Chomsky since 1995. .
