Hello, I like to confirm with expert here whether the result of this program is correct or not, accordingly
"How many people live in Indonesia" the result is S[wq], which means it's a WH-question, not and embedded question
http://svn.ask.it.usyd.edu.au/demo/demo2.cgi?sentence=How+many+people+live+in+Indonesia&printer=graphical&model=q&submit=Parse%21
whereas
"How many people are there in Indonesia" the result is S[wq], which means it's a WH-question, not and embedded question
http://svn.ask.it.usyd.edu.au/demo/demo2.cgi?sentence=How+many+people+are+there+in+Indonesia&printer=graphical&model=q&submit=Parse%21
Why the second one is not the embedded question ? If it's embedded question it would show S[qem]
How true is the result ? Thanks.

.
It is not an embedded question for the reason that I gave you in your other post. The word order is that of a direct question.

'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master-- that's all.'
