Abstract
All natural languages have interrogative constructions. This paper is a survey of the structure of the two major kinds of questions, yes-no questions and wh-questions in natural languages and artificial languages. There are several ways used to form each of these types, and sometimes more than one method is used in the same question. Yes-no questions can involve particles, a different word order than statements (namely different order of the subject with respect to a verb, the result of subject-verb inversion), and/or a diferent intonation pattern, while wh-questions will contain a wh-phrase, which may undergo movement, and subject-verb inversion may also take place. Natural languages are presented first, along with two relevant language universals. Artificial languages are then presented, and it will be seen that on the whole they are not significantly different from natural languages in how they form questions. Finally some recommendations for language designers are discussed.
