This paper presents some novel properties of the Negative Wh-Construction. It is argued here that not all wh-phrases participating in the construction can be analyzed the same. Namely, since when-questions reject some aspect of the previous speech act, and not necessarily the propositional content, as opposed to Negative Wh-constructions with 'where'.
