Macedonian question particles

Macedonian default polar questions are introduced by clause-initial dali, which admits negation without inducing bias ([Sim24] ex. 32), or carry the enclitic li on the fronted verb, which is reported to convey surprise or a negative answer expectation, unlike Bulgarian and Russian li ([Sim24] §4.2.5). The mirative zar is the Macedonian kin of Russian razve ([Sim24] §4.2.4). The strategy profiles are in Studies/Simik2024.lean.
