     If yes–no questions are CPs containing a null yes–no question operator (a null counterpart of whether) in spec-CP, we can arrive at a unitary characterisation of questions as CPs with an interrogative specifier.

2. (government, of a system of government or administration) That concentrates power in a single body, rather than sharing it with more local bodies.

   a unitary authority

   a unitary state

3. (mathematics, of an algebra) That contains an identity element.
4. (mathematics, linear algebra, mathematical analysis, of a matrix or operator) Whose inverse is equal to its adjoint.
