In-situ and ex-situ wh-question constructions in Moro [PDF]
Journal of African Languages and Linguistics, 2014 This paper addresses the formation of wh-questions in Thetogovela Moro, a Kordofanian language spoken in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan. Moro has both in-situ and ex-situ wh-questions, but exhibits a subject/non-subject asym- metry: while non-subjects may employ either construction, subjects must appear in the ex-situ form.

Restrictions on wh-in situ in Kavalan and Amis [PDF]
Lingua, 2016 This paper investigates the grammatical properties of wh-in situ constructions in Kavalan and Amis, two Austronesian languages in Taiwan. In Kavalan, wh-phrases cannot stay in situ in the absolutive subject position, except for mayni ‘which’. However, all Amis wh-phrases, regardless of their case marking or grammatical function, can stay in situ.

D-linking and the semantics of wh-in-situ [PDF]
Proceedings of the Linguistic Society of America, 2021 Theories of pair-list readings of multiple wh-questions commonly posit an interpretive asymmetry between the fronted and in-situ wh-phrases, where the fronted wh-phrase is argued to function as the sortal key, have a requirement to be interpreted exhaustively, or be obligatorily D-linked.

Do Persian Native Speakers Prosodically Mark Wh-in-situ Questions? [PDF]

Ultrafast Chemical Pre-Sodiation of Pseudocapacitive CaV<sub>8</sub>O<sub>20</sub> Anodes for High-Performance Sodium-Ion Capacitors. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)An ultrafast (2‐minute), gas‐free chemical pre‐sodiation strategy using Na‐benzophenone is developed to compensate for initial sodium loss in calcium vanadate (CaV8O20). Driven by the Ca2+ ‘spectator effect’, the framework enables highly reversible, quasi‐zero‐strain solid‐solution sodium storage, explicitly bypassing destructive conversion reactions ...
