ABSTRACT

The basic word-order scheme o f Ca ta lan is explained i n Chapter 36. The formula t ion o f yes/no questions i n Ca ta lan does not entail change of word order between an affirmative and a corresponding interrogative sentence. Thus, just as the statement 'Pere has come' cou ld be expressed as either (a) H a vingut en Pere or (b) En Pere ha vingut, so the question ' H a s Pere come?' can be formed as either (a) Ha vingut en Pere? or (b) En Pere ha vingut?
