Résumé
Basque correlatives and the matrix clauses that contain them are systematically compared withtheir counterpart in various languages. The dimensions of cross-linguistic variation describedare : (a) the paradigm the wh- items belong to (relative or interrogative ?), (b) their position inthe protasis, (c) the various mechanisms that possibly mark the protasis as dependent, (d) thepossibility of there being several wh- words or phrases ; but also (e) the option of having a linker between the correlative and the matrix, (f) the question of word order in the apodosis, and (g)what differences (if any) there are between such complex sentences according to the fact thatthe protasis contains a single wh- word or an NP modified by a wh- determiner.
