Universal 496: initial question word ⇒ inversion Verb-Subject;
inversion Verb-Subject (interrogative question) ⇒ inversion Verb-Subject (yes-no question) <\/h3>\n
\n
Original<\/dt>\n
Inversion of statement order so that verb precedes subject occurs only in languages where the question word or phrase is normally initial. This same inversion occurs in yes-no questions only if it also occurs in interrogative questions.<\/dd>\n
Standardized<\/dt>\n
IF interrogative sentences are formed from declarative sentences by inversion so that verb precedes subject, THEN the question word or phrase is normally initial.<\/p>\n

IF such inversion occurs in yes-no questions, THEN it also occurs in information questions. <\/dd>\n
