 note = {This paper discusses the syntactic structure of the sentences that include conjoined wh-phrases, as given in (1). I call these sentences conjoined wh­-questions. (1) a. When and where did you see them? b. When and with what did John hit Bill? Browne (1972) and Grimshaw (1978) observes that conjoined wh-questions are acceptable only when both of the wh-phrases are optional elements, that is, adjuncts. The examples in (2) show that the conjunction of an argument wh-­phrase and an adjunct wh-phrase is not allowed. The example in (3) shows that the conjunction of two argument wh-phrases that do not originate in the same syntactic position are not allowed.  (2) a. *What and how hard did John kick? b. *What and when did he give you? (3) *John asked who and what bought. If two argument wh-phrases originate in the same syntactic position, they can be conjoined, as in (4). (4) a. Who and whose brother did you like? b. Who and what did you see? In (4) both who and whose brother are the objects of the same verb. In this paper, I propose that examples like (1) are Right Node Raising (RNR) constructions, while examples like (4) are questions in which conjoined wh-phrases are fronted. In other words, (1) and (4）ere different constructions, though they have a superficial resemblance. The ungrammaticality of (2-3) is derived from constraints on RNR. If we analyze (1) as questions in which conjoined wh-phrases are fronted, we must admit the conjunction of elements that do not belong to the same semantic category. In (1), for example, where is a locative, and when is a temporal. But there is evidence to show that the conjunction of elements that do not belong to the same semantic category is not allowed. The RNR approach can explain the behavior of the conjoined wh-questions in (1) without using such conjunctions. On the other hand, in (4) the conjoined wh-phrases belong to the same semantic category. Thus, nothing forces us to analyze (4) as RNR.},
