In many languages, there are certain words, morphemes, or constructions which occur only (or at least primarily) in matrix or embedded questions and are therefore called interrogative . There are also, however, linguistic elements which are not interrogative, yet play crucial roles in question formation. Chief among these are disjunctions, focus, and wh-words, which are used as indefinites in various environments.
