This paper presents a novel account of free relative clauses (RCs), linking case resolution patterns to the typology of D0 heads as proposed by Longobardi and others. While free RCs typically adhere to matching requirements, some languages permit configurations where the case assigned by the matrix clause conflicts with that within the RC. The extent to which languages allow for such case conflicts varies, as does their resolution, which may align with either the matrix or RC probe. Adopting a cartographic approach, the author explains this linguistic variation through two key elements: (a) the nature of the D0 head in a language, distinguishing between strong and weak D0, and the feature-sharing mechanisms with lower heads; (b) the operation of chain reduction defined by a subset relation. In another analysis, engaging with Timothy Williamson’s work, the paper explores what distinguishes genuinely philosophical questions. While Williamson critiques the linguistic and conceptual turn in analytic philosophy, arguing that his chosen question is philosophical without being meta-linguistic, this contribution contends that he may not achieve his goal. It further argues that the predicate “being a philosophical question” is vague and examines implications for meta-philosophical perspectives on the Linguistic and Conceptual Turns. Additionally, the article discusses the use of comics in language teaching, specifically through the h
