Abstract

MON types an 'uncertainty' question and non-typing MON adds 'uncertainty' to questions typed by an overt or silent performative. This paper accounts for the placement of MON in both these cases and also explains why V-2 is not triggered when MON occurs sentence initially. The explanation rests on the idea that MON is linearized in the phonology as are other adverbs and that V-2 is phonologically motivated.
