Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the connections between relative and interrogative pronouns in multiple cultures and languages. The author suggests that in its earliest forms, language lacked the ability to formulate questions, instead expressing questions as dependent clauses within statements. The author then traces the development of relative and interrogative pronouns across languages, noting that relative clauses, once dependent clauses, later evolved to allow for more complex linguistic expression. The author suggests that relative and interrogative pronouns developed similarly due to both serving to modify a substantive, rather than for reasons of grammatical symmetry or a common origin.
