TL;DR: There is a certain type of interrogative sentence that seems to be of special interest in connection with the basic conceptual scheme inherent in a natural language because of certain connections between that type of interrogated sentence and other related sentences involving indefinite pronouns and still otherrelated sentences involving negative expressions.
Abstract: There is a certain type of interrogative sentence that seems to me to be of special interest in connection with the basic conceptual scheme inherent in a natural language because of certain connections between that type of interrogative sentence and other related sentences involving indefinite pronouns and still other related sentences involving negative expressions. (That there is such a scheme I will just assume here. For my present purpose, it will not be necessary to assume that it is the same or different across natural languages.) The basic conceptual scheme inherent in a natural language is not wholly ontological, an important part of it being epistemic and there perhaps being parts of still other sorts'; the rest will go almost unmentioned here.
