Zusammenfassung

The paper investigates the distribution of English if and whether as complementizers for polar questions in extensional contexts, and specifically the restriction of if-questions to negative contexts. I will criticize the recent analysis by Adger and Quer (2001) and suggest that markedness of embedded if- questions in certain contexts arises through the conspiracy of several factors. I follow Bolinger (1979) in assuming that the question “if S” presupposes an (ir- )relevance asymmetry between the proposition denoted by S and its negation. I argue that this leads to competition between embedded if-questions and that-clauses in the relevant constellations, which in turn excludes the if-question as the less optimal variant.
