Why is it important?
Detailed discussion of the differences of Spanish ISWHQs with ISWHQSs in French, Portuguese and other Romance varieties from Italy. It is shown that the in situ strategy is not a uniform phenomenon, and can be derived in many different ways. Spanish ISWhQS involve overt syntactic movement.
Perspectives
The paper shows that the analysis proposed for wh-in situ questions for other Romance varieties cannot be extended to Spanish in situ questions, and proposes an alternative (covert) overt movement analysis of these structures.
