The in-depth studies discuss the effects of focus, questions and givenness in unalternative semantics, as well as the role of scalar particles, question-answer pairs and prosody from the perspective of Questions under Discussion. Two contributions compare the discourse-structuring potential of Questions under Discussion and rhetorical relations, whereas another adds a perspective from inquisitive semantics. Some contributions also look at understudied languages. Together, the contributions allow for a better understanding of question-related pragmatic and discourse-semantic phenomena, and they offer new perspectives on the structure of texts and discourses.Current Research in the Semantics / Pragmatics Interface36.PragmaticsPragmatics.415Zimmermann MalteOnea Gaspar Edgar V.Heusinger Klaus vonNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910795117003321Question in Discourse3761208UNINA
