Аннотация:This paper deals with the properties of wh-questions in Balkar. It is shown
that wh-in-situ structures in Balkar are island insensitive (with an exception of
coordinate structures). I discuss the complement/adjunct asymmetry regarding
intervention effects. I also consider embedded multiple wh-structures. In this paper, I
discuss a puzzle that the Balkar data presents to the prominent theories of wh-questions, which do not explain the properties it shows.
