The Grammar of Q puts forth a novel syntactic and semantic analysis of wh-questions, one that is based upon in-depth study of the Tlingit language, an endangered and under-documented language of North America. A major consequence of this new approach is that the phenomenon classically dubbed 'pied-piping' doesnot actually exist. INDICE: 1.: Introduction; 2.: Wh-Fronting and Q-Movement in Tlingit; 3.: Applications to Wh-In-Situ Languages; 4.: Applications to Other Wh-Fronting Languages, Pied-Piping and Intervention Effects; 5.: Constraints on Pied-Piping and Secondary Wh-Fronting; 6.: Conclusion
