Why is `Why` Unique?: For some thirty years it has been known that the adjunct `why` differs from other wh-elements with regards to syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. The chapters in this collection detail original research on the syntax and semantics of `why` and its function at the syntax-prosody interface in many different languages to further the understanding of the reason adjunct. The Merge position of `why` is examined in some languages which encode more than one lexical entry and in others which do not. An apparent exception to the generalization about its Merge position calls for a clear-cut distinction between the reason interpretation and the `how come` interpretation of such why-questions. Why-questions formed on the wh-element `what` in some in-situ languages are also investigated these chapters answer two central questions: what is the source of the casual reading of the post-verbal `what`-element, and is the sentence-initial `what`-element externally merged in the left periphery The chapters in this collection represent the first cross-linguistic study of high and low reason adjuncts, post-verbal `what` as why-questions among in-situ languages, and the semantics of why-rhetorical questions and `how come` questions. Englisch, Buch.
