However, the discussion becom es even more convoluted when we take the analysis cross-linguistically. My presentation explores a c onstruction that exists in Spanish, but not in Eng lish, which allows a speaker to unambiguously repo rt a question that this construction demands a mor e detailed analysis of question-embedding predicat es. I will present such an analysis as well as int roduce a test in order to highlight a correlation between a property shared by all verbs that share this construction that take this construction, whi ch is not shared by predicates that do not.
