The present work aims at establishing a typology of spatial interrogatives (SIs) in comparison to their declarative counterparts (SDDs) in the three basic spatial relations Place, Goal, and Source. In a functionally motivated typological approach, equivalents of the Early Modern English SIs WHERE – WHITHER – WHENCE, near deictic (ND) SDDs HERE – HITHER – HENCE, and far deictic (FD) SDDs THERE – THITHER – THENCE are identified across a sample of 250 languages from all macro-areas. The expressions are both qualitatively and quantitatively assessed to extrapolate areal and global trends of coding patterns. The formal relationships between spatial interrogative and spatial declarative paradigms are analyzed with a focus on the syncretism of categories and of individual cells. Table 1 displays two languages with different coding patterns, viz. a maximally distinct coding pattern (Finnish) and a maximally indistinct coding pattern (Bambara).
