cue in initial position from the Atlasul multimedia prozodic Român (AMPRom). It
is under debate the (proto)typical pattern of neutral Wh-interrogatives in comparison with the affirmative sentences with large and contrastive focus on the first component. Then there are introduced some variances from the prototypical model related to pragmatic-semantic aspects.
