Abstract

The paper demonstrates the differences of three relative clauses with Wh-phrases when they are the complements of “zhidao (to know)”, “wen (to ask)”, “xiangxin (to believe)” in the perspective of cognitive grammar. Chinese Wh-phrases in questions don’t need to be moved to the beginning of the sentences. The interpretation of questions or no questions of Chinese Wh-phrases in relative clauses is related to the semantic features of matrix verbs and inquiry interactivities of interpersonal communication.
