This book provides an account of the structure of A-bar
constructions, focusing on wh-questions and fragment answers in
Dagbani, a Mabia (Gur) language spoken in Northern Ghana. It
demonstrates that Dagbani wh-phrases occur in two distinct
positions, ex-situ and in-situ, except for subject wh-phrases,
which only occur in the former position. It provides a theoretical
analysis of the distribution of the wh-phrases couched within
minimalism (Chomsky 1995). Finally, the book gives an account of
the structural correlation between wh-questions and their answers
with the focus on the syntactic derivation of fragment answers. The
author contends that the derivation of fragment answer involves two
processes: A-bar movement together with PF-deletion
