Abstract
Polar question particles in languages with VO word order pose a problem for the otherwise
robust Final-Over-Final Constraint, which rules out a head-final phrase immediately
dominating a head-initial phrase (Holmberg 2000). This paper offers a description of these
particles and the constraint, and offers data supporting the hypothesis that these final particles
are different from their initial counterparts in a fundamental way.
