Nominal wh-questions (nonprepositional arguments) in Indonesian-type languages have received two principal analyses in recent years. Based on the three different surface strategies for forming these questions, Saddy (1991) has proposed distinct in situ, long-distance-movement, and partial-movement analyses for Indonesian. Cole & Hermon (1998) adopt the same general proposal for Malay. Conversely, examining the three parallel structures, Davies (2003) has proposed that there is no interclausal wh-movement in Madurese but that all nominal wh-arguments are generated in situ. Sundanese presents the same basic structural options as the other three languages. Examining the grammatical characteristics of the long-distance questions, we conclude that, as in Madurese, there is no evidence for interclausal A′-movement in Sundanese and that the apparent cases of long-distance movement are best analyzed as instances of A-movement. These questions thus appear to share some characteristics of nominal wh-questions in other western Austronesian languages, such as Malagasy (Keenan 2008) and Tagalog (Gerassimova & Sells 2008
