Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the grammatical and semantic characteristics of the interrogative adjectival pronouns hangi (which), kaç (how many/how much), kaçıncı (which in order), kaçar (how many each), and ne (what kind of) as they function within interrogative infinitive noun phrases in contemporary Turkish. The analysis is based on contextual examples illustrating the use of interrogative infinitive noun phrases containing wh-questions formed by these interrogative adjectival pronouns. In the contrastive part of the analysis, Turkish interrogative infinitive noun phrases containing embedded questions are compared with semantically corresponding syntactic constructions in the Bosnian language.
