This study investigates whether it is possible to use multiple question elements in a single interrogative sentence in French and Italian (as in the English, Who ate what?). In both languages, limitations can be demonstrated in formulating sentences with multiple question elements. These limitations are theoretically examined in the context of formal semantic and syntactic theories of interrogative sentences.
