Abstract

This  paper  examines  exclamatives  and  interrogatives  containing  the  wh-determiner  ‘ques’  in  dialectal  Brazilian  Portuguese. As  opposed  to  standard BP,  in  these  structures,  ‘que’  is  the  only  constituent  of  the  DP  marked  for plural. In order to explain these facts, I will propose an analysis that accounts for the CP/DP-internal hierarchy as well as the DP-internal distribution of the plural morpheme.
