The concealed questions (CQ) literature is divided on the proper
semantic analysis of CQs. The two most prominent approaches treat
CQs as having either an individual concept semantics (Heim 1979,
Romero 2005, Frana 2013, 2017) or a propositional or question
semantics (Nathan 2006, Aloni & Roelofsen 2011, Percus 2014).
Here I examine CQ DPs that contain *wh*-phrases—a category of
data that has gone largely overlooked—and conclude that their
behavior (slightly) favors a propositional approach: they lack
certain readings that ordinary CQs can have, and they can be
interpreted like embedded multiple-*wh* questions. The overt
*wh*'s role in revealing this behavior leads me to call such DPs
**unconcealed questions**.
