| Research Abstract |
In this research, I studied on three types of questions such as normal questions, echo questions and multiple wh-questions in various languages in order to verify the validity of the Theory of Universal Grammar(TUG). Firstly, I absorbed the theoretical backgrounds, principles, rules and operations of the TUG, and then examined the previous analyses of these questions. Secondly, I made out the database of these questions in various languages which have been presented in papers and books concerning them. Furthermore, I pointed out that it is necessary to assume more detailed systems incorporating linguistic parameters, in order to account for the collected linguistic data within the framework of the TUG.
