Research on left periphery phenomena has increased in the last 20
years, resulting in consistent studies from a wide range of
languages and a fruitful debate on the functional projections
within the CP system. Throughout these years, important
contributions have been made on Brazilian Portuguese, especially on
wh-interrogative sentences, focalization, topicalization and
relative clauses. As for exclamative and imperative sentences,
however, there is a considerable research gap in all grammatical
levels. Regarding interrogatives, semantic and prosodic studies are
still lacking (as well as research on the acquisition and
processing of these constructions). This collected volume fills
some of those gaps, gathering studies on wh-exclamatives,
imperatives and wh-questions in Brazilian Portuguese which approach
syntactical, semantical and prosodic aspects of these constructions
through a rich and unregistered set of data. They also deliver
novel acquisition and diachronic data that will further both the
comprehension of Brazilian Portuguese grammar and the ongoing
discussions on left periphery phenomena.
