This paper provides new insights into the analysis of vocative structures that co-occur with a sentence by bridging two previously independent domains of linguistic research: wh -interrogatives and vocatives. More specifically, we investigate in which positions Spanish speakers accept vocatives in wh -interrogatives introduced by different wh -phrases. The results of an acceptability judgment task indicate that our participants highly accept initial and final vocatives in all wh- interrogatives. For middle vocatives, the results differ across wh -phrases. While the participants accept middle vocatives in wh- interrogatives introduced by por qué (‘why’) and d-linked wh -phrases, they reject them in bare wh- interrogatives. These findings require a modification of the syntactic analysis of vocatives. Initial vocatives are placed above ForceP, while middle and final vocatives are analyzed in two different positions, in an upper and a lower Voc addr P in the left periphery
