Prosody and the syntax of indeterminates

I will extend Kitagawa and Deguchiʹs (2003) prosodic study of wh-question constructions to indeterminate constructions in general. I will generalize the Watanabe paradigm (Watanabe, 1992a) originally defined for wh-interrogatives to indeterminates in general. I will show that the Watanabe paradigm once lost in a narrower perspective is regained in a broader perspective.
