Introduction -- The formal relations of spatial interrogatives -- WHERE, WHITHER, and WHENCE in the languages of Europe -- The big world -- Spatial relations across sentence-types -- Conclusions.. - "This book provides a functional-typological account of the paradigm of the spatial interrogatives where, whither, and whence.

Special attention is given to the differential complexity of the constructions which are used as spatial interrogatives"--
