Abstract
In this paper, I document a parallel between genitive interrogatives and D-linked
content questions in Iraqi Arabic. In particular, I argue that genitive
interrogatives are inherently D-linked and I explore the nature of this D-linking
property. I first introduce the problem, the proposed analysis and its
consequences (§1). I then consider in greater detail how genitive interrogatives
differ from bare interrogatives and instead parallel D-linked content questions
(§2). I argue that the property that ties together genitive and D-linked
interrogatives is the fact that they both have an overt domain restriction (§3).
