In Northern Mansi, embedded polar questions can be expressed in two ways.
The first construction is identical to the structure of simple polar questions and the affirmative clauses (cf. (1) and (2)). In this case, only the intonation distinguishes the question from the affirmative (cf. fig. 1–2). The question intonation contour appears on embedded polar questions too. The second construction entails a conjunction meaning ‘or’ (man or aman) and a negative particle (3). In both cases, the word order is SOV (the same as in simple polar questions).
