False ideas are discarded (e.g., there are no relative clauses, does not take over ' functions). This essay furthermore teases apart actual neutralization and so-far-unknown subtle distinctions. Who knew that is featured in three different types of appositive clauses? In the interrogative domain, an analysis is given of what licenses to pop in and to pop out. Tackling these topics and more, this essay draws a coherent picture of the wh-clause system, whose basis is the notion of (non)identification 520-00 The landscape of Wh-clauses in classical Greek -- Ὅς/ὅστις form a pair of complementary items -- Bringing Τίς into the picture -- The clash between definite terms and Ὅστις as pragmatic disagreement -- Complement Wh-clauses and the predicates that embed them -- Τίς (and Ὅστις) in unselected embedded questions -- The origin of Ὅς interrogatives -- Wh-exclamative clauses -- The ups and downs of classical Greek Wh-items. |
