The present study focuses on the refutatory
wh-sentences in Chinese. The main idea is two-fold. First, contrary to the previous accounts arguing for the interrogative nature of
refutatory sentences, we argue that refutatory wh-sentences
exclude the interrogative force and should be distinguished from rhetorical
questions accordingly. Second, we will show that all
wh-words bearing the refutatory interpretation should occur
as adjuncts, which are syntactically placed in the left periphery. Two subtypes
of refutatory wh-adjuncts, namely, propositional refutatory
wh-adjuncts and modal refutatory
wh-adjuncts, are further classified in this study. The former
is semantically akin to the pure negator bu, while the latter
semantically relates to modality.
