This paper examines the processes of question formation in French. My purpose is to propose a generative analysis to account for these processes for which one can make a reasonable claim of descriptive adequacy. Attention will first be focused on simple yes-no and ‘wh’ questions. Then, the analysis being expanded to accommodate the est-ce que series, a close relationship will be demonstrated between these and certain embedding mechanisms. Finally, I shall indicate how the analysis presented may be extended in a natural way to account for various other phenomena of French syntax
