This paper investigates the prosody of polar questions (PolQs) in comparison to alternative questions (AltQs) in Urdu. Inspired by [1], who claim that Urdu/Hindi AltQs are disjunctions of PolQs from a semantic perspective, we examined this hypothesis from a prosodic perspective via three experiments. Our results clearly show that AltQs are not disjunctions of PolQs from a prosodic perspective. Our findings also resolve an existing disagreement with respect to the boundary tone of PolQs in Urdu/Hindi [2, 3], indicating PolQs predominantly end with H%, while AltQs end with L%. More excitingly, we discovered that in addition to the three signature properties of AltQs already established crosslinguistically, our data indicate a fourth cue: the hat pattern. With respect to the prosody-meaning interface, we also observed an interaction between question type and word class, with verbs showing longer duration in PolQs but NPs exhibiting longer duration in AltQs. We argue that this is motivated by the focus properties of the respective clauses. Finally, our judgment experiment with ambiguous stimuli challenges the assumption of a preference for PolQ interpretation [4], showing that an AltQ interpretation is more likely, particularly when case markers cliticize to the individual disjunctions, marking these as separate prosodic phrases.
