Bavarian syntax is widely known for its productive Doubly-Filled COMP (DFC) property and for the rare phenomenon of inflecting complementizers. It is less widely known that DFC also extends to declaratives. Topicalization out of a preposed CP can leave a gap, with various consequences. DFC is in addition not available as unconditionally as previously thought. Short wh-words seem to blur the traditional division between heads (C) and phrases (wh-XP). As for the inner clausal syntax, Bavarian shows hierarchically organized discourse particles among which the clitic version 'n of the particle denn plays a distinct role. Various tests as well as empirical investigations suggests that 'n has lost its semantic residues and has turned into a wh-agreement marker.
