Dear all,
In a study of the syntax of multiple wh-XP interrogatives especially in Polish, Ewa Dornisch (''Discourse-Linking and Multiple _wh_-Questions in Polish'', in Gussmann, E. (ed.), _Licensing in Syntax and Phonology_, 1995) describes the following context for multiple wh-XP interrogatives: ''After A's birthday party, A and B are standing in front of the table on which the gifts are piled. B wants to know who gave A each particular gift.'' I would like to know if the following multiple wh-XP interrogatives are acceptable for speakers of English in this context: (1) What did who bring? (2) Which present did who bring? Thank you very much in advance.
