C-Value: only R

WH-questions belong to extraction constructions. This means that while core arguments can be directly questioned, questioning of obliques involves nominalization of the construction (cf. relative clauses). That would mean that only R can be directly questioned, while T cannot; cf. p. 96; (28); Ben is questioned directly (without nominalization).
