Abstract
The article discusses an elative wh-construction (mis NPnominative NPelative V?) in the Estonian language. Formally the construction is a question, but pragmatically it can be regarded as prohibition or negation of th e sense of the proposition. It is a mixed construction, which consists of lexical, morp hological, and pragmatic elements. The aim is to analyse what motivates the formation of the meaning of the construction.
